To support the national event ‘Show Racism the Red Card’, we are asking all our children to wear home clothes including an item of red on Thursday 20th October. There is no cost for this event, it is purely to support the value of RESPECT, which includes a zero tolerance of racism, that we share with all our children.

We all enjoyed meeting Flo, the Willen Hospice mascot, learning a dance with her and then dancing, walking, running, scooting or cycling around the field and playground, raising money for the fantastic work that Willen Hospice does. Thank you to all children, parents and carers for supporting us.
The whole school enjoyed our World Cultural Diversity Day. We learnt all about the different countries that our friends come from, and had the chance to taste lots of delicious food from around the world. Thank you so much to all of our parents and carers for supporting our special day.
