16.12.20 Magic Andrew

We were so lucky to have a visit from Magic Andrew yesterday. He kindly put on 4 separate shows for Nursery, Reception, Years 1 & 2.
Everyone had a great time with another little bit of Christmas normality.

15.12.20 Not so Secret Santa !

A massive shout out to all of our staff who have raised £335 for the Hospitality and Hope charity which supports homeless and vulnerable people in our local area.
Instead of the usual secret Santa gift giving, staff decided that this year more than any other that it was the best decision to help others.
Here are our House Captains helping to bring in all the groceries we will be donating to their foodbank and soup kitchen.
Well done Mortimer!
