Standon Bowers
Last week 80 of our Year 5 pupils attended Standon Bowers Outdoor Education Centre on a 5 day residential course. During the week the pupils experienced a wide range of outdoor activities including climbing, caving and BMX riding and generally had a thoroughly good time.
We have been committed to providing these opportunities for many years because we recognise the huge value it provides in helping the children mature and develop their independence. The courses remain as popular as ever and we will endeavour to make sure future year groups get the chance to attend similar opportunities.
Sainsbury’s Vouchers
The annual Sainburys’s Active Voucher Scheme will be starting shortly. These vouchers have provided considerable amounts of sporting equipment to us in recent years and we will again be taking part. Any vouchers you do receive from shopping at the store can be handed into the office. Can I thank you in advance for your support with the collection of these vouchers
