HALF TERM
Half term commences on Monday 26 October, the children return on Monday 2 November.

UNIFORM PRICE INCREASES
The Friends would like to inform you that they have had to increase the prices of the uniform due to a price increase from the supplier. The Friends make minimal profit from the uniform (it is more a service to parents) for example the sweatshirt will now sell for £7.50, and the cost to the Friends is £6.75

CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX APPEAL
As in previous years we are again supporting Samaritan’s Purse. Each shoe box should be filled with items as specified in the leaflet and should be clearly labelled. PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO CUSTOMS REGULATIONS there are items that cannot be included – please read the leaflet. We cannot send the boxes if there is no £2.50 to cover the transport costs. So please only send in shoeboxes with the accompanying £2.50. Although the leaflet mentions the 1 to 18 November as the campaign dates, please return the filled shoe boxes by FRIDAY 6 NOVEMBER as they are to be collected then. Extra leaflets are available from the school office. Thank you.
