Dan Worsley - Author Visit

Dan is a children’s author and performance storyteller. He has worked closely with many of our Key Stage 2 children during the last couple of years. Dan will be leading a very special storytelling assembly when he next visits next Monday, 9th June.

 

Following his assembly, Dan will be signing copies of all six of his books (£5 each/cash only) available for purchase during the afternoon on Monday 9th June. If any children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 would like to bring money in a labelled envelope, they can purchase a copy before school closes. Dan will be happy to sign and personalise the pupil’s books.

 

More details about Dan and his books can be found on his website: danworsley.com or you can find him on X @dan__worsley

Sports Day

Thank you to all parents and carers who were able to attend Sports Day before the half term break. It was great that so many of you were able to come along to support your children in the lovely weather as they enjoyed some friendly team rivalry!

 

Non-Uniform Day – Friday 13th June 2025

Advance notice that we will be having a non-uniform day next Friday, 13th June. For a ‘charge’ of £1, your child will be able to come in their own choice of clothes that day. All money raised will go into our ‘School Fund’ – this is money that we use to subsidise the cost of school trips and to buy prizes and treats for the children.

SEND Inclusion Day – 19th June 2025

Please see flyer below for more details of this special event for children and adults.
