After the October holidays, Mrs Collard will take up the position of Acting Head Teacher.

Class Coffee Mornings

We are looking forward to welcoming you into school for our class coffee mornings again this session. These relaxed gatherings are a lovely chance for you to hear directly from the children about what they have been learning, see some of their work, and enjoy a chat with your child about their learning with a cup of tea or coffee. Each class will host their own coffee morning, where pupils will share highlights of their learning. You might hear about a favourite topic, see a piece of work they are proud of, or hear about a range of areas of the curriculum. Two adults are welcome to attend for each pupil.

Here are the timings:

• P1–P2: 9:15am
• P3–P7: 9:00am
• ESB: 11:10am
   Each coffee morning will last around 30 minutes.

The dates for each class are:

05.11.25	P4A
06.11.25	P2A
03.12.25	P5A
04.12.25	P3A
14.01.26	P4/5
15.01.26	P1/2
06.02.26	Sparrows and Robins
04.03.26	P6/7
05.03.26	P6A
13.05.26	P7A
14.05.26	P3B
03.06.26	P1B
04.06.26	P1A

We hope you will be able to join us — it means so much to the children to share their learning with you, and we always enjoy having families in school.
