Unfortunately due to illness we have had to cancel the minibus service on Thursday 14th March 2019 (morning and afternoon).

Parents of children due to go on the minibus are able to use the breakfast and after school club free of charge tomorrow should they wish to.  Breakfast club starts from 07:45 and is held in the infant hall.  Please let the school office know if you wish to use the after school club, which runs until 16:00.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The children have enjoyed a fantastic last day at Bowles!  They were very brave at conquering the abseiling although it was a bit chilly!  They can't wait to tell their families about the fun they've being having over the last few days

The children are having an amazing time at Bowles!  They were all great on the night walk yesterday and everyone slept well.  

They have been skiing and on the low ropes this morning and look forward to this afternoon's activities.  So far the weather has been kind to them so fingers crossed it continues!

A group of our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils set off for 3 days of fun and adventure at Bowles today.  The pupils have arrived safely and along with staff were excited to find that they had been upgraded to luxury lodge rooms.. lucky them!

They are excited to start the activities ahead of them and make great memories.

The school will be visited by a team of inspectors on Tuesday 22^nd January 2019.  A letter has gone out to all parents and carers by email and paper copy today to provide information about the visit along with a letter and a leaflet from Ofsted.  

If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school you can tell Ofsted your views about our school by completing Ofsted's online survey, Parent View, at: www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.

Parent View asks for your opinion on 12 aspects of your child's school, including the progress made by your child, the quality of teaching, how the school deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to make additional comments, if you wish. The inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting your child's school. Written comments can also be sent to the school in a sealed envelope, marked confidential and addressed to the inspection team.

Please complete the online survey by noon on 22 January 2019 

The link to the questionnaire is: www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.

Thank you to the Brighton Lions for their generosity in providing the whole of Key Stage One and Reception with a free trip to Worthing theatre to see Aladdin! 97 places were provided by the club as well as the coaches and ice cream in the interval. Our children absolutely loved it and had a magical time meeting the Panto monkey.

As always, the reports back from all involved were that the children were the best ambassadors a school could have, with  politeness and their rapt attention to proceedings shining through.

Due to exceptional circumstances the Year 1 trip to Hangleton Park that was due to take place on Monday 26th November 2018, has been postponed.

Further details of the new date will be communicated in the next few days.  Apologies for any inconvenience.

A reminder that Monday 5th November 2018 is a school INSET day.

We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Tuesday 6th November 2018.
