Congratulations to our Year 4 children who made their First Holy Communion this Saturday. The boys and girls outshone the summer sunshine in their outfits and dresses. It was a fabulous occasion and lovely to see so many family members gathered together to celebrate the children’s special moment with them. Thank you to all the helpers, of which there were many, who contributed to the big day. A special thank you to Fr. Frank, Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Robinson for their time in preparing the children for the sacrament. Thank you to Mrs Jubb for providing such fabulous party food and the special cake. Lastly, thank you to the parish ladies for working non stop providing refreshments throughout the morning.

Our Year 6 children did a great job in helping to keep our school grounds clean. Following a fun litter pick, we were all very surprised at how much litter actually ends up on our playground and school field! Thanks to the brilliant efforts of the children our school looks clean, bright and tidy.

A big well done to our fabulous children who took part in the regional skipping competition and were worthy winners overall. The competition involved a number of individual events that our children excelled at. Below are the results from the day’s activities. Well done boys and girls we are all so proud of your achievements.
