Important Information

Meet the teacher - Tuesday 9th September.

I will be doing a welcome speech for Year 3 & 4 parents at 6:00pm and Year 5 & 6 parents at 6:30pm, this will be held in the hall. The speech will be repeated, so you do not need to attend both sessions. Mrs Munro will also be discussing reading during my welcome speech.

Teachers in Years 3 & 4 will meet with parents and carers at 6.30pm approx.

Teachers in Years 5 & 6 will meet with parents and carers at 7:00pm approx.

These meetings will be in your child's class and there will be direction to ensure you know where the classrooms are.

Year 4 parents will be invited into the drama studio after the Meet the Teacher event, for a residential talk, this should end by approx 7:30pm.

Year 6 parents will be invited back into the hall after the Meet the Teacher event, for a residential talk, this should end by approx. 8pm.

Blessing of the Backpacks - St Peters Church

On Sunday 7th September as part of our regular 9.30am Sunday Service we'll be inviting the schoolchildren of the parish to come forward to have their school backpacks/satchels blessed to mark the start of the new school year. All are very welcome to join us. The service will be followed by refreshments (probably cake!) and games.
