  Another fabulous night was had by all at our summer disco this week. As always everyone enjoyed the music, dancing and eating lots of treats!( We even sold out of hot dogs for the first time ever!)

  Thank you to our DJ Tony Allen who did a fantastic job and also to the F.O.B.S and staff who gave up their time to ensure that the event ran smoothly . Together we raised an amazing £550!

  Our school councillors had an exciting visit from a local architect firm this week. They showed the children the process that designs go through before they are built or made. The children then had a go at drawing their own designs to improve the area outside of school. The architects were so impressed with the children's ideas , they took the designs with them !
