  We have had a very special visitor in Reception this week. A local member of the Police force came and shared their experiences with the children. They were lucky enough to explore a real police car and hear the sirens going off. What a lovely experience for our children!

• New Library Update

  Thu 21 Nov 2019 J Nichol
  After lots of fundraising and hard work from our Parent Association our new school library is fully functioning. You can see some pictures of the incredible space under the gallery section of our website. Each class has the library booked out for an afternoon a week to promote reading for pleasure across the school. It is delightful to pop in and see so many children chilling on a bean bag with a book or hiding in the cubby whole whilst immersing themselves in an adventure. We have lots of plans for our new library so keep watching this space for more exciting news!
