Update from the PTA
  • Thank you for the fancy dress donations - we have an amazing selection. We will be selling fancy dress alongside the Spooky bakes on Friday 25 October in the Infant playground at pick up.
  • Everyone should have received your child's Christmas artwork via a Class Fundraising leaflet in book bags. You have until next Wednesday (16 Oct) to order. There is a massive selection of cards and gifts to choose from; family love personalised gifts and they make nice keepsakes!
    • If you haven't received this in your bookbag, or any issues please message Infant PTA on Classlist.
    • You can request simple edits via the website but do this ASAP as the deadline to order is the same.
    • The PTA has no control over this deadline - sorry!
  • Elf "I'm back" balloons are back by popular demand. Capacity is limited, pricing super competitive and all profit to the school. Order by 6 November to secure yours.
