Nursery Sports Afternoon
The Nursery children had a wonderful afternoon competing in their mini sports event. There is another sports event for nursery children on Monday morning
Athletics Day
We have children from year 4, 5 and 6 representing the school at today’s Primary Schools athletics championships. The event is all day and takes place at Withdean Stadium.
Nut Allergies!
We have a few children in school who suffer from nut allergies. For some children this is life threatening. Recently we have had 2 incidents of children having food which contains nuts whilst sitting next to a child with a serious nut allergy. It is for this reason I am reminding you all to ensure that your child’s packed lunch box, birthday celebration treats and any other food that comes into school etc DO NOT CONTAIN NUTS.
