A huge thank you to Martin Worth and everyone at the Community Shop for their very kind donations.
This week we were very grateful to receive a cheque for £1000 to replenish our reading scheme books for KS1. This will make a huge difference to all the children in KS1 as some of our current books are looking a bit tired from lots of use.
Also Tiddlers, After School Club and Breakfast club have been donated a large TV with DVD. This will enable our youngest children to be able to watch educational internet clips and also help to create a relaxing space for children in After School Club and Breakfast club who may need to just 'Chill'.
We thank everyone involved for these very generous donations. The children are currently making thank you cards and letters to take to the Community Shop.

We would like to advise you of the services for which childcare vouchers/tax free childcare can be accepted as payment in our school.
Breakfast Club
After School Care
After School Extra-curricular activity clubs (if delivered onsite at school)
Regulations state that the vouchers can be used to pay for onsite and out of school hours childcare. We regret to inform you that this rule prevents us from accepting childcare vouchers, as payment for school lunches, educational visits or residential trips, despite what some voucher companies are advertising to parents on their website.
Thank you
