LATEST NEWS & EVENTS

EASTER EGG RAFFLE is being replaced with an EASTER EGG HUNT
The current year 6 and 7 leaders have given us a great idea this year as a replacement for our annual Easter Egg Raffle. This year every student will be involved in an Easter Egg Hunt during the last week of this term. In order for this to happen the leaders have organised two free dress days. We are asking children to bring in some solid eggs for their free dress days. The free dress day will be Friday, 14th March! Bring a solid egg. Thanks for supporting this event.
