Rev’d Bill led a special ‘Epiphany’ service in school last Thursday, helped by some Year 4 children.
We chalked a blessing on the front of the school. Please send in any photos if you did this too for our display!

This week on Wednesday two teams from KS1 will be participating in a Multi-skills sports event at Etonbury,

and from 6.15-7.30pm  for Years 2 to 4.
Tickets are on sale before and after school each day this week.
