Upcoming School Closure

The school will be closed for the St Patrick’s Day Bank Holiday on Monday, 18th March. 

Spring Fair Preparation

The Parent-Teacher Association met last week, and we continue to get ready for the Spring Fair, which will take place on Saturday, 18th May.  We are urgently looking for raffle prizes.  A letter is available in the office from Claudia that can be given to potential donors of prizes for the raffle.  We’d ask that all raffle prizes are confirmed by Friday, 15th March.

For various reasons, the PTA has postponed two family-friendly evening events that will take place later this year.  The first will be a talent show which will now be on Friday, 12th April at 18.30.  Both parents and children are invited to participate, and more details will follow.  Also, we will have a family quiz night on Friday, 14th June. 

World Book Day

Children are invited to dress up as a book character as we mark World Book Day on Thursday, 7th March. 

Head Lice

A reminder to parents to regularly check, ideally weekly, your child’s head for lice and treat if required.  Every parent doing this on a regular basis will help manage this effectively.

Credit Union Quiz Update

Well done to both teams who represented the school at the Chapter Level of the Credit Union Quiz today.  Our under-11 team came in 3rd Place in a close contest.  Congratulations to our under-13 team who resoundingly beat their competitors and will now go on to represent the school at the national finals in April.
