Christmas Fair
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Christmas Fair this year. We raised a fantastic £800 which will be used to buy resources for our new library.
Many thanks to Mrs Hughes and her band of valued helpers, who provided their time in many ways to help make the day run smoothly.
Santa really enjoyed meeting our children and commented on what lovely manners they all had. The photographs will be in school early next week.
