Wedding are coming from. I run assemblies and my team meet up with teachers from the Infant school to find out
celebrations about the children.

School Closed At the other end of the school, our 'outgoing' children get similar treatment in terms of us liaising closely
Friday 25th with our secondary colleagues. We meet with them throughout the term to make sure children feel as
May - inset ready as they can for September.
