Covid restrictions
Sadly, because of rising numbers of positive cases,  we have had to return to Covid restrictions this half term. So we are now trying not to mix classes.
However we have been able to get together remotely in our Microsoft Teams assemblies assemblies. The results of the elections for our new School Council Presidents and Vice presidents was announced in assembly today.

After school sports and Messy Monkeys clubs are up and running. Children have been enjoying lots of outside play in the good weather. Please contact admin if you would like to book your child into clubs after half-term.
