Zambia A big thank you for the donations for our Zambian link appeal. We managed to raise £454.70 which will all be spent on resources that Mark H and Sheena will be taking out to Janna school at half-term. Mark and Sheena are really looking forward to developing our links and meeting the staff and children of Janna school. When they return they will share lots of information through displays and assemblies. Year 1 and Year 5 children have already been working hard on recording a song and producing art work for us to share in Zambia. Watch out for information after half-term.
Diversity Events I would like to take this opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ to Junaida, assistant head, for organizing a fantastic week of events where all pupils, staff and parents were able to celebrate the diversity that exists within our amazing school community.
