Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Thank you for volunteering for your child to be part of our Reindeer Dash, to support and raise funds for Treetops. We now have well over 100 people joining in!
The dash will commence at 2:45pm for pupils in Y3 and Y4 and at 3:00pm for pupils in Y5 and Y6.
Pupils should come to school in, or bring, trainers for the event. As the weather forecast has to be mixed, our dash may need to be around the school perimeter if wet. Staff will be on hand to guide you as to the route. Any adult joining in this event will need to come 5-10 minutes before the start time to meet their child in the school hall.
In order for this event to run smoothly, adult access to school will be from Derby Road only. Canal Street will not be open. Adults will congregate in the hall to meet their child prior to the start of the dash. We ask that people understand that this is not a race and aim for all to participate safely, respecting all the other participants.
Before your dash commences, Treetops have supplied a free set of antlers for you to wear whilst completing this charity event.
Please could you bring your collected sponsor money on the day, Monday 1st December, as it will help us collate funds raised and allow us to provide certificates to our many participants. Staff will collect any sponsor forms and money either at the start of the day in assembly or in the hall prior to the event.
We hope we can raise money, however small each donation may be, to collate into an amazing Christmas gesture to help and support this worthwhile local charity.

☃️ Calling all snowman engineers … 🎶 do you wanna build a snowman? 🎶 ☃️
In assembly this morning, Miss Milne announced the theme for this year’s STEAM Christmas competition - the “Snowman Stretch Challenge” 🤩❄️☃️
If your child would like to enter, they will need to become a snowman engineer by designing, making and/or building a snowman that can either stretch upwards or outwards, and stand up on its own. Their piece of work must include skills from some or all of the 5 STEAM subjects - Science, Maths, Engineering, Art and Maths! 🧐
The deadline for this competition is Monday the 8th of December. Judging will commence during that week, with prizes for the winners and runners up from each year group announced the following week
Today in assembly, we learnt about an exciting TTRS competition starting tomorrow! Running from Tuesday 18th November - Thursday 20th November, the children get 1 hour a day to log in and increase not only our class tally but for whole school points as we battle schools across England for the best outcomes. Come and join in the fun!
Dear Families,
