School photo day

All children in school will have an individual photo and photo with their siblings. Younger pre-school siblings are welcome to come early at 8.15am to have their photo taken with their older siblings. Please can all children come into school in their full smart school uniform as there will be no PE lessons that day due to photographs in the hall. We have chosen a local company again this year which are more cost effective. We had our Year 6 leavers memories books created by them and they were wonderful.
