Everyone at the school just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who made a donation to our Harvest Festival celebrations this week. I’m sure you will all agree, the final rainbow looked fantastic and all the food/donations have now been dropped off at the Harold Hill foodbank - who were extremely surprised and grateful about the amount of food that was delivered to them this morning!

Enjoy your half term!

Bike to School Week 2020

This week is Bike to School Week 2020 – please take this opportunity to travel to school with your children in an ‘active’ way – that’s walking, scooting or cycling and make the start and the end of the school day a much healthier time for all of us!

Thanks you for your support
