Y6 boosters have started and we want as many children to engage with them as possible. So, every time your child attends, their names will be put into a draw and the week before SATS, four names will be picked out of the hat to enjoy a meal at TGI Friday’s during the school day! Thank you in advance for your support with the boosters. These will really help your children be the best version of themselves!

Letters have been sent to all parents and carers of Year 5 and 6 children. If you are yet to return your letter, please can you do so as soon as possible to let us know that your child is attending and how many places you require on the night.
