Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Welcome back for Term 2.
This term runs for 6 weeks and 3 days. We close at home time on Wednesday 20th December.
School finishes next Friday (27th) and we have the half term holiday for one week.
We return to school on Monday 6th November, when we shall be opening with poetry week, new curriculum topics and our after school clubs.
Thank you to all who attended the parent evenings this week - we had an excellent turn-out and staff really valued meeting you. I hope you enjoyed seeing the work your child has produced and that you could see the progress they are making.
Thank you also for the positive feedback.
It's obviously going to be VERY wet today. Pupils will be encouraged to enter the school by the NEAREST door possible as they arrive. Spare/change of clothes can be brought - probably spare shoes and socks will be useful.
We will be keeping as warm and dry as we can today.
I will be keeping an eye on the environmental alerts re flooding in the area so please keep checking the dojo for any updates.
Well done Harrington Community- you have raised a fabulous £265 for Macmillan!!
Thank you for all donations of cakes and money. Thank you to our very kind volunteers for their time and cooking expertise 🌟
