Gate Closing Times

The school gates will be closed between 8:30 and 9:10am and again at the end of the day between 2:45
and 3:10pm. If you are bringing or collecting children before or after these times do not park in the
car park. We need to keep our children safe at all times which includes breakfast club and after
school clubs. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Fund Raising
Poppy Appeal - The poppy appeal back in November 2015 raised 245.62.
Sports Relief - We raised 277.00 from our dress down day and the sale of buns.
Thank you for your kind donations. You can look at the school website to revisit all the memorable
things we did.

parents will have received a coaster whose childs attendance was 100% for the Spring term, we thank
our parents for doing this.

Eureka, Lightwater Valley and lots more exciting places.
Childrens Home Activity for Easter
Please encourage your child to do this activity. It would be lovely if you all worked together as a
family as this will help the children with the difficult bits.

Scarecrows
We hope that you visit our scarecrows at some point! All children from year 1 to year 6 have studied
Bradford this last term where the inspiration has come from. You may like them, hopefully the birds
will not!

bringing home.
