The children are now gearing up for our Christmas festivities, and I thought it would be helpful to send a reminder of the dates of these and other events. I will also include additional information about each event that you might find useful.

*Our children in classes 1 and 2 have worked very hard to ensure this year’s Nativity performance is up to their usual high standard. We would ask you to be considerate of the performers and audience members when bringing young children. Whilst we welcome members of the community of all ages, younger siblings can be very distracting for our performers as well as the audience – please be mindful of this. If you are bringing young children, it would be our preference that you came to the afternoon performance if possible as this performance will have a more informal feel.
We look forward to celebrating with you and welcoming you to these events,
Mrs Brown and the staff team
