We have 99 on roll now, though the hall felt a little empty without the Reception children there in our ‘open assembly’ timer together. Birthdays were celebrated and notices given.

We are well on the…

  1. The new carpets make the rooms look so much bigger and a really exciting place for the children to learn.
    I can’t believe that you talked too much in the Friday assembly……!
