Our first PSFA fundraising event of the year was a roaring success!

Thank you to all the wonderful parent helpers and staff members who gave up their time and helped to make the children's disco so good.

A special thank you to DJ Phil from Jamin Entertainments who very kindly put on such a great disco for our children.

The children absolutely loved it and are already asking when the next one is going to be. 

Our Reception children brought their teddies to school today for a trip to St. Dunstan's Church. Reverend Michelle had the biggest teddy bear we'd ever seen! The children had a wonderful time listening to her bear story, singing bear songs, exploring the church, colouring bear pictures and enjoying the bear biscuits they had made in school for a picnic treat. Thank you to Reverend Michelle and St. Dunstan's Church for hosting us and to the brilliant parents and carers who helped us with the trip.

Each year group had a fun and informative road safety assembly yesterday. Thank you to Nickie from BCP council's road safety team.
