Y5&6 Football match vs Baschurch

A great performance from our Y5&6 football squad today who were selected to play in a 9 a-side game against Baschurch Primary. After going 1-0 down, they fought back confidently with goals from Dexter, Fin and Ben to earn a well-deserved 3-1 victory. Well done everybody and thank you to those who came along to support the team.

Swimming Sessions Start – 26th April

Dear Parent/Carer

Just a quick reminder that the swimming sessions start tomorrow, Wednesday, 26th April.

Please ensure you send your child’s swimming kit with them, school do NOT have any spare kit which they can lend. Please can we also ask that the girls don’t wear tights on this day as it is a “challenge” for them to get dressed again following their session. Can we also ask that the girls have their hair tied up and that no one brings any aerosols.

If your child has any goggles they can bring them,  although it is not a necessity.

If you have any questions please give school a bell on 01939 290834

Regards

Mrs Smith
