Updates from Mrs Norden

The new term is in full swing and school has been a hive of activity.

If you were able to attend our parent/carer information meetings, we hope these were useful, and you were able to ask the questions you had.  If you were unable to join us, the termly information documents (which can be found through the links below) and the presentation slides (which will be sent out this coming week) will hopefully provide all the information you need.

On Friday 27th September we will be holding our annual Harvest assembly and will again be collecting for Jimmy's Cambridge, and we hope you will be able to support us in this. This year we will be joined by one of Jimmy's staff members, as they are always grateful for all the support we provide through our harvest collection.  Last year we contributed to 40,000 meals they were able to provide their residents.  As always, children should take their donations into their classrooms on the morning of 27th.  You can find Jimmy's donation suggestion list in the newsletter further down.
