1 March 2024 – Newsletter – Including FOSM Easter Egg Hunt Booking
A note from Mr Applegate
An intresting week! Lots of illness going around. Thank you for your understanding of the 48hour rule.
Thank you to everyone who has given towards our capital fund. With our aging building and limited funds, it really makes a difference. Remember it’s not to late to give.
We had a Hampshire inspection on Monday. One of the comments from the inspector was, “Pupils learning behaviours are strong. There is a culture of respect and high regard for one another throughout the school. Children enjoy coming to school and are enthusiastic about their curriculum and can articulate how their learning builds over time.” Great!
Year 3&4 parents – don’t miss the email about Easter performance tickets.
We’re sorry to have to postpone our school council’s sports event. The weather was just against us. We’ll let you know of the new date.
Have a great weekend, Mr Applegate

Car Parking
Particularly this week with the bad weather we have received several complaints from local residents regarding poor parking at pick up and drop off times. Could you please remain respectful to our residents and follow the usual parking rules even if this means parking further away from school.
