Links with the Community
The school supports a chosen charity
each year. Events and collections are organized to raise money for this
cause. This year Pump Aid, has been the chosen
charity and Sport relief raised £600 where children were
encouraged to come to school dressed as a sports person instead of uniform green
and run a mile. They paid a small sum for the privilege.

One week each year is devoted to special
activities connected to a chosen theme. Themes over the past few years
have included Books, Creative
Dance, the Millennium, the Jubilee
and this year Health & Safety.
