• Teacher/Family Consultations – Via Zoom – Wednesday 20th October & Thursday 21st October

• Hello Yellow - Friday 8 October

  Thu 30 Sep 2021

  On Friday 8^th October we will be taking part in ‘Hello Yellow’, raising awareness of children’s mental health and fundraising for the ‘Young Minds’ charity.  It will be a non-uniform day in school with a yellow theme – children may choose to wear a completely yellow outfit or just their favourite outfit with a hint of yellow.  There will be a special assembly in school and teachers are planning lessons to help children learn about the importance of looking after their mental health and how to seek support if they need it.  Donations to the charity are voluntary; if you would like to contribute please send your cash donation into school on Friday morning with your child.
