  On Thursday morning, parents and carers of children in Year 5 and 6 were invited into the school to join us for a relaxing books and biscuits morning.

• F1 & The Rotary Club plant crocus bulbs

  Fri 13 Dec 2024

  This week the Rotary Club came to school to talk to us about their initiative to raise awareness for polio, a disease that continues to impact communities around the world, mainly affecting children under 5 years of age.

   

  Together with our F1 children The Rotary Club planted crocus bulbs in front of school on Henning Lane. The crocus, a flower that blooms in the early spring, was chosen for its vibrant colors and its connection to the global campaign to eradicate polio.

   

  We look forward to seeing these crocuses bloom in the spring, a beautiful reminder of the ongoing fight for a polio-free world.

Well done to all who took part and thank you to all the staff for their hard work and time putting on the performance. We are very proud of everyone!
