Dear parents and carers

Welcome to our weekly blog. We aim to send out an update of events, developments, news and activities throughout each month; this will replace our existing emailed weekly newsletter.

We would like to welcome Wendy Norris to our team; Wendy will be assisting Wendy Moseley in the kitchen.
