“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined”
Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862)
Obviously the school calendar varies from year to year. The following are events which have traditionally been held each year, most of which, parents are invited to attend:
Autumn term
• Harvest festival – children are encouraged to bring to school food that is then donated to a local charity. A visiting speaker is usually invited to attend.
• Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 Nativity play – a performance not to be missed!
• Carol service – usually held in St Laurence church and often includes special singing & instrumental items performed by the children.
Spring term
• ‘Friday Fling’ – an early evening disco in two sessions, for Foundation Stage KS1, then KS2 plus the previous year 6. Children & helpers only!
Summer term
• School fete – Many hands needed for setting up and manning stalls and refreshments, as well as coming to enjoy the event.
• Sports day – held one afternoon in July. All children participate in a variety of races cheered on by friends and family.
• Annual Parents’ Meeting – presentation of the Governors’ Annual report.
• Celebration evening – the school is open for families to come and admire the children’s work.
• Year 6 assembly – a fun event conducted by year 6 on the last day of term.
