• Author and firefighter visit

  Wed 28 Feb 2024

  On Tuesday 27th February, we were very lucky to receive a visit from local author Angela Chater. She visited Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.  The children loved hearing her book- Stanley's Incredible Journey.

  Due to a family circumstance, we must postpone Miss Koumi's parents / carer evening Wednesday and Thursday. Whilst Miss Koumi will be teaching the class during the day, she will be unable to conduct the appointments. 2K’s parent/carer evening will now be on 21st/22nd Feb at the same times you have already booked. We appreciate that you may already have plans so if you can’t make the appointment, please let Miss Koumi know and we’ll find an alternative arrangement.
