Welcome back Year 6!

Happy New Year!

We are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow in our brand new school. Our classrooms are looking fantastic; however, there is something missing...YOU!

This term is going to require a lot of hard work, determination and perseverance from you all.

Kicking off the start of the 2017 Spring Term, we have an exciting week for you all - tests! We'll also be getting to know our new school building and adjusting to new routines.

Remember, doors open at 8.45am where you will come straight up to your classrooms. The school entrance is now on Goodwood Avenue, you cannot enter the school via Plumpton or Chepstow.

See you tomorrow!
