We are all looking forward to our

Summer Fete on Saturday, midday to

events and stalls to enjoy. The

money raised goes straight to

improving the school for the

children. A massive thank you to the

PTFA and helpers who have worked

tirelessly to putting on the event.

Congratulations to Alex and Lizzie in

Year 6 who both attempted a Mock

Foundation Level Maths GCSE at

Wycliffe College and achieved a

‘C’ level GCSE – absolutely fabulous!

Next Wednesday we have our Church

School inspection, where we are

judged on our Christian

Distinctiveness. We appreciate all

out next week.
