This Term’s Attendance Award
A big congratulations to Year 3 and 4 for winning the Autumn Term’s attendance award. Both classes had over 96% attendance.
Mrs Natasha Masefield
This week we have been saying a fond farewell to Mrs N Masefield. She has decided that she will not be returning to work after her maternity leave, but will be staying to look after her little bundle of joy and pursue other interests. We were very pleased that they both came in to visit us this week and wish her all the best for the future. We are sure that Mrs S Masefield will be keeping us updated with everything they get up to.
Christmas Bazaar
Christmas treasure hunts, santa suit races, raffles, mulled wine, pizza and craft stalls – our Christmas Bazaar had it all. Thank you for supporting the school, we hope you all had a great time. Final figures not yet in but we have raised well over £800 (not including the bar).
Carol Service
Thank you to everyone who attended the Carol Service on Wednesday night. The children put on a performance that we are all very proud of. We would like to say a special thank you to Mr Bradford for organising the concert.
