Christmas Fair tonight
Christmas Performance Arrangements
Reception
Reception children will be performing on Tuesday 6th December at 9.15am. We have room for roughly 2 people per child to come along. As this is just one year group we will not be providing tickets. If you would like more than two people to come along please do ask (we just need to keep track of approximate numbers).
Y1 and Y2
Children will be performing twice on Thursday 8th December (1.45pm & 6pm). As this is the whole of our Key Stage 1 we will be providing tickets through Eventbrite. We have room for 2 people per child in total. This means you can choose 2 tickets for one of the performances or 1 ticket for each performance. We have now opened a waiting list and will try our best to accommodate as many requests for tickets as possible.
Key Stage 2 (Y3-Y6)
Tickets for our Key Stage 2 Christmas Performance at the Neeld Hall are now available. On Thursday 15th December there will be an afternoon (1.45pm-2.45pm) and evening performance (6pm-7pm) and to help cover the cost of the hall tickets will be £2 each.
Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite using the links below. Initially we ask that you purchase a maximum of 2 tickets per family for the performance (either 1 ticket per performance or 2 tickets for the same performance). It is likely however that there will be additional tickets available and we will let you know when these can be purchased.
We hope you enjoy another wonderful performance!
AFTERNOON PERFORMANCE KS2 (Y3-Y6)
EVENING PERFORMANCE KS2 (Y3-Y6)
Christmas Carol Service
Y1-Y6 (not reception) will be finishing the term at St Andrews church on Friday 16th December. As in previous years parents are invited to join us at St Andrews from 1.30pm (start time 2pm). Pupils can be collected from the church at around 2.30pm or from school at 3.10pm.
If parents of reception children would like their child to attend the service then you are welcome to collect them from school at 1.00pm. They will then be able to sit with you at the church. The service starts at 2.00pm. A letter will be sent next week to confirm arrangements for this.
Clubs
All clubs have now finished for the year. A new selection will be sent out in January. Wednesday Choir will continue whilst the children practice for their Christmas performance. Choir will now finish at 3.45pm.
