Christmas Dates for your Diary! Please find below key dates for our last week of term to celebrate Christmas 🎄  Please speak to class teachers if you have any questions.

With Christmas coming up and people doing more online shopping, we thought it would be a good opportunity to share some tips to do this more safely.  Follow some simple tips to stay free of fraud this festive season. 🎅🎄

Winter can be a difficult time - existing pressures can be heightened when we have to deal with keeping warm, the costs of Christmas and possible health challenges. Cumberland Council have put together some ways you can find or signpost support.  The document attached provides information in relation to support for: •            Emergency Help •            Homelessness and Housing Help •            Domestic Abuse •            Food Help, including free meals •            Mental Health •            Money and Debt •            Help for Families •            Help for over 55s •            Social Prescribing  The document details organisations’ standard opening hours. However, please note that these could change over Christmas and new year, so please get in touch directly to check festive opening hours before you visit a venue.

Reception Parents:🐝🐞🦋  Our resurfacing works carried out in the Reception outdoor area have ran over.

Please be mindful of others when parking. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you to one of our year 2 pupils for making my Friday. Out of the blue he said to me, ‘“This is the best school ever.” He told me this was because of all the staff, the outside and the equipment we have. I have to agree - especially about the staff - they really do go the extra mile to look after our children!
