Please note that the book character Dress Up day will be on Friday 12^th April. I look forward to seeing lots of literary costumes in our assembly on the day. Parents are most welcome to attend the parade and assembly if they wish.

The lost and found boxes are overflowing to bursting with unlabelled uniforms and other items. Please take the time to come and look through and retrieve anything that belongs to you. It is also useful to label all items with your child’s name to make it easier to reunite the lost items with their owners!

On Monday, April 29, all uniforms that have been left in the Lost and Found will be cleaned and inventoried for the Uniform Swap during the Spring Fayre. If you think an item of your child's uniform might be in the Lost and Found, please check before April 29!

Please note that there will be summer uniform from Monday 9^th April as the weather is warming up. Please see the website for details on ordering uniforms.
