Next Friday, 25th September we will be raising money for Macmillan cancer support. Children are invited to come to school wearing  Green clothes instead of their uniform and are asked to bring a cake donation and £1 cash if you can.

Parents are invited to our coffee afternoon at 2pm in the school hall. Children will be able to buy a cake after the coffee afternoon at 3.15pm. There are no set costs for cakes, we simply ask for a donation to the worthy cause.

Cash only please for this charity collection.

Thank you for your continued support.
