Dear All,
It was lovely to see so many parents supporting us on Thursday even though we had to run a reduced Sports Day because the Gem Park was saturated.
We had to run indoors Nursery Sports also but, again, these were really well supported and there was a lovely atmosphere.
Thank you.
Congratulations to our Healthy Week Competition winners and runners-up who were Aishah Samuels, Jacen Wickens, Manasvi Vhanmane, Layla Abdulla, Ryan McKenzie and Grace Compton!
