Coffee Catch up Tuesday 21st June

Hello to all.

Tuesday June 21st is chance for a coffee catch up from 9am in the library or staff room. Pre schoolers welcome. No real agenda other than some updates on Emotional regulation and what we are doing. I just hope this grows into a safe place and time for chats about school, life in general and how we can all help our children grow.

Please come along and bring a friend. Maybe an hour or so. No pressure but just time to have some dialogue. All welcome. You may even meet someone new.

Reminder – we close at 1pm Tuesday 14th. This is for interviews. Thank you for your understanding

School Support Thank you

School Support Group Thank You

A huge Thank you to those people who helped at the 3 recent catering events that school support were involved in, and also to those of you who provided food or money to help with costs.

Last week saw those of you who supported the meat fundraiser receive your meat so we hope that you enjoy that and thank you.

If you have some spare time on a Friday at lunch time we are needing people to cook and hand out the sausages, it would be about 1 ½ hours.  Please contact Natasha Baxter if you can help out on 0274550807.  If we don’t get enough help then we may have to rethink whether we have it next term. 

The next school support meeting is to be held on Monday the 20th of June, 7.30pm at the Railway Tavern, anyone is most welcome.

Thank you Clare Stewart

Thank you so much to those who attended the school meeting last night about communication and curriculum. One quick change is that you should see events now on HERO and that links to website events so you have a calendar in front of you. This is also on the app and means you have the calendar on you at anytime.
