First Aid For minor head injuries we will no longer be calling home, the children will be given a head injury sticker and a letter to go home. We will only call for injuries that are more significant and that we think you need to know immediately.

Book Fair World Book Day is taking place tomorrow (3rd March). Each child will receive from their class teacher a token which entitles them to £1 off any book over £2.99 either at our Book Fair or at any participating shops. Please come along to our Book Fair which is taking place on Friday 4th March until Wednesday 9th March after school in the Small Hall. The children have had a preview of the books which are available to buy. Do come along – the children are very excited about our Book Fair! Every book you buy helps to buy books for the school. Thank you for all your support so far.


Nursery Over the next few weeks we will begin offering places for children currently on our waiting list to start our Nursery in September. In order to be offered a place, your child must a) be on our waiting list and b) be 3 years old before 31st August 2011. If you would like to put your child on our Nursery waiting list you will need to come to the school office with your child’s Birth Certificate/Passport and 3 Utility Bills/Bank Statements to complete an application form. Please note that not all children on our waiting list will be offered a place as we have a limited number of places available.
