  Mega Marathon update

  We will still go ahead with the Mega Marathon, but in much shorter slots and adjusted to suit the conditions on the day. Where appropriate, children will walk rather than run. Pupils will have plenty of access to water, shade and breaks throughout, and any child who feels unable to take part can remain in classes or not take part as required.

  If sponsorship money hasn't come in yet, it can be sent in tomorrow — but you're very welcome to keep collecting and bringing it in next week.

  Thank you, as always, for your support.

  Parent Information- On Thursday, 16th October, our school is proud to be taking part in the Show Racism the Red Card event.

  To show our support for this important cause, children are invited to wear red to school.
