Friday is the NSPCC's Number Day 2026! As in previous years, we will be supporting the NSPCC by taking part on Friday 6th February. During the day, children will partake in some number fun whilst thinking about charity and some of the key messages from the NSPCC (e.g speak out, stay safe).  On Friday, children may come to school in non-uniform as long as it is maths themed - e.g. numbers on the back of football kits (yes, football kits!), shapes on t-shirts, parallel lines and for those who are more creative, they could design a t-shirt etc. Children are more than welcome to come in their normal uniform if they'd prefer. On the gates, staff will have voluntary donation buckets for those who would like to contribute to the NSPCC. Have a good week and Friday will be Mathstastic!
