Sports Day

A reminder that we are holding our Sports Day tomorrow. We are taking advantage of the current spell of dry weather and holding this earlier than usual this year. Parents and carers are very welcome to come along and watch their children – timings are as follows:

 

Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 will have their Sports Day on the KS2 playground and grassed area at the back of the school in the morning, starting at 9.30am.

 

Reception, Years 1 & 2 will have theirs on the playground and grassed area at the front of the school in the afternoon, starting at 1.00pm.

 

If the weather is against us, we will try again on Tuesday 1st July.
