Go to the Payment Amount box on the Payment Screen and enter your donation amount. Thank you
 
Family Day - A letter has been sent this week inviting you to attend our Family Day event at the Infant School between 9:15am and 11am on Wednesday 26th November.

Reading and Phonics Information Evening - Wednesday 26th November
On Wednesday 26th November, we will be holding a Reading and Phonics information evening to explain how the children are taught phonics and reading in school and to discuss how parents can support their child's learning at home. We will cover topics including our phonics scheme: Bug Club, how we teach reading across the different year groups and the importance of reading for pleasure.
 
Please can you complete the google form if you plan to attend, so we can gauge numbers and make necessary arrangements.  The session will begin at 6pm and last for roughly an hour.  Unfortunately children are not able to attend.
 
The link to the Google form is here.
