Maths Showcase

Mrs Haywood would like to thank all the parents who came to the Maths Showcase.  We were overwhelmed by how many joined us and supported their children in their maths lessons.  The children always enjoy parents joining them for lessons. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. 

Harvest Assembly

On Thursday 24th October Yr. 6 will be leading the Harvest Assembly.  We are asking if you could help us by sending in a tin of soup/beans/tomatoes/vegetables etc. or a packet of dry food, for example, rice or pasta etc.

School Meal Prices

We have been informed the school meal prices will be increasing to £2.35 from the 4th November.

Warm Clothing

Please ensure that you send your child/children to school with coats, hats, scarves, gloves etc.  If your child comes to school in wellies, please ensure they bring a change of shoes to school.  Make sure all items have your child’s name in them.

Year 6 Parents — Secondary School Application

There are still a number of families that have not completed the secondary school application process. The deadline is 31st October 2024.  For those few who still have not completed their applications, then you need to do so as soon as possible.  If you are having problems please see Mrs. Spafford, or contact the Admissions Team on 01274 439200 or email secondaryadmissions@bradford.gov.uk.

Parent Events or Meetings

If you require any assistance during parent events/meetings e.g. translator, access arrangements etc. you will need to complete a booking form.  These can be obtained from the office.  This form must be completed and returned to Mrs. Spafford at least two weeks before the event/meeting.  Please note that although we endeavour to meet all assistance requests, completing this form does not guarantee that the request will be met.
