  We are very much looking forward to welcoming you and your children to our Year 5 day on Monday 10th July.

   

  As advertised you are welcome to return to school at 2.30pm to watch the afternoon's PE activities; however, despite us ordering sunshine, it seems there may be a chance of inclement weather. Should this happen the PE activities will not be observable, in which case we request you collect your child at 3pm.
