Dear Parents, Carers and Children,

KOOTH can be accessed online via

Take good care this summer.

While the rest of the school participated in sports day, Nursery explored ways to get active and have fun. We loved playing on the trim trail, practicing our balancing and climbing skills. We also took part in some mini races on the nursery yard. Watch out as I’m sure we have some super athletes in the making!

This week saw the return of Governor Day. It was even more exciting for the children as the Chair and Vice Chair gave an assembly about the governing body role and how they help the school.
