Quantum Theatre School will be visiting us on Wednesday 25th January to perform their play 'How to Write a Story - The Story that Writes Itself'.  The play highlights how to develop the use of different settings in narrative, how images can be used to plan stories, how the use of language can create atmosphere or suspense as well as how to structure a story. The School will be covering the cost of the majority of this visit, however, we are asking for a contribution of £1 per child to help fund the remainder.

Tanya, our School FLO, will be holding a Drop-in Session on Tuesday 31st January from 9.00am to 11.30am.  No appointment is necessary and Tanya will be available to help or give guidance with issues such as benefits, finance and household budgets, behaviour problems with children, bereavement or loss, family break-ups etc.  In her role of supporting parents and families, Tanya is here to help with issues both inside and outside of school so come along and have a chat.  If you are unable to attend, she can be contacted by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
