Decorations Day

Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed Decorations day. Each class created various Christmas decorations such as an advent calendar, snowflakes, stained glass windows, paper chains, etc. We also set a challenge for each class to design Christmas tree decorations linked to their topic. These are now displayed in our Christmas Tree grotto in the main hall. The children love seeing this as they go to lunch and nursery will be visiting it this week. Some classes also created hot chocolate pouches and Christmas cards which we hope to send to the local residential home.

We are very excited to have launched our new school App. The App is linked to our school website allowing you to view newsletters and calendar dates more easily. It also has the capacity to update you on current news and any notices that may be relevant for your child.

To download simply connect to Google Play or the Apple Store from your phone, search for 'School Jotter' and once downloaded, input our school name.

We strongly encourage you to download the App as we will endeavour to update you on upcoming events, last minute reminders and any school closures via this form of communication. The school website and School Gateway will still be used for letter and other information alongside the App.
