• It's the end of another academic year!!  We all made it!!

  Fri 21 Jul 2023

  A special 'thank you' to everyone who came along to our Celebration Assemblies.  I'm sure you'll all agree, it was a lovely reflection of our very busy year. 

   

  DRUM ROLL!!!  We raised a staggering £2113.90 from our sponsored slide event.  This will be used in the new academic year to continue to subsidise the coaches and visits for school trips.   You are all amazing 😊

   

  Also, a big thank you to the parents/carers who have expressed an interest in helping out with school trips, sporting events, fayres etc 😊 We’ll be in touch in September to get you involved.

   

  So, now to recharge the batteries, enjoy the summer and make lots of memories.   Fingers crossed the weather perks up a bit!! 🙂

   

  Thanks once again for your continued support.  We couldn’t do it without you all doing your part😊

   

  We have certainly ended the year on a high! 

   

  See you all on Tuesday 5^th September 2023 

   

  Mrs B and the FL Team 🙂
