PTA SCHOOL DISCO The school disco was a fantastic success with nearly 200 children attending and you raised £633, well done and thank you for your support. Once again the PTA did a wonderful job to make sure it ran smoothly and all the children in the disco thoroughly enjoyed it. However we did have a couple of issues with teenagers outside the school building during both discos and a toddler nearly got hurt in the Key Stage 1 Disco. Because of this at the next disco no older or younger children who do not attend our school will be allowed in the school building and no teenagers will be allowed on the premises. Only adults (18 and over) will be allowed into the disco to look after children. I apologise to any families that this will cause problems for but the health and safety of the children who come to our school is our first priority. PTA The PTA are looking for new members to help support fund raising events. They are a highly enthusiastic, supportive and fun group of people but they are a bit short of numbers at the moment. Please see any teacher or PTA member for details.
