Book Fair next week
In the coming weeks, we have our school book fair. It’s a chance for children to become excited about books and enjoy reading. There are a variety of books on sale, and the school gets commission for each book sold. This summer you get 3 books for the price of 2 with the cheapest book free!
Each class will visit the book fair stall. If you’d like your child to buy some books, please send them in with an amount between £3 and £12 in cash in a named envelope on the day below. For Year R, the book fair is after school in the Key Stage 1 playground – please can parents/carers attend with your child.
If you would prefer to pay online and not physically visit the book fair, you can do so here.

Safety at the School Crossing by the Community Centre playing field
There have been 4 incidents at the crossing this week involving very young toddlers. They have either been mistakenly walking far ahead with another family in the afternoon crowds or have been left behind because they’ve stopped to look at something after crossing.
