In support of Children in Need, Friday will be non-uniform and children can have crazy hairstyles if they wish. Please note, if your child has a swimming lesson on this day we politely ask that they do not wear any hair dye/glitter as this may prevent them from their swimming lesson.

This is an opportunity for children and parents to buy books from a huge list of titles. The more money the school raises from book sales, the more the school can earn back in books.
