Congratulations to Ollie Pitcher (5CY) who joined over 50 boys from across the country to perform a flash mob dance at Kings Cross Station, on Saturday 21 October. The aim of the project was to promote ballet and other dance disciplines for boys. Following their dance there was a surprise tap dance performed by Wayne Sleep! Well done, Ollie.

If you have not yet completed the online survey to give us information about your child’s nationality and place of birth, please click on the following link https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2RTGKQT. If you are unable to complete the survey online, please con-tact the school office for a paper copy. Also, could we please ask all parents of Year 5 pupils to update the data collection sheets that were sent home last week, and return them to the school office? Many thanks for your assistance.

• To Daniel Trowell (5LW), Jack Howard (6AT) and Elliot Heightley (5CY) who all recently passed their trumpet exams. Daniel achieved Grade 3 with merit, Jack passed his Grade 1 with distinction and Elliot was awarded his Grade 1. Con-gratulations to you all.
• To Holly Trellis (6FL) who recently took part in the Fromeside Floor, Vault and Beam competition in Bristol. She competed in the Under 13 age group and came 1st on the beam and the floor, joint 2nd on the vault and was placed 1st overall. Well done, Holly, on a superb achievement!

If you still have any Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers at home, we would be very grateful if you could send them into school as soon as possible. These vouchers will enable us to acquire additional school resources that encourage children to become more active and healthy. Many thanks in advance.

A big thank you to everyone who voted for our community project as part of Tesco’s Bags of Help scheme. We have been awarded the sum of £8000 towards our project!

Our plan is to use the funds to transform some of the muddy areas at the back of school near the bike sheds. These areas, previously laid to lawn, are now in need of a face lift so that the children can enjoy them to the full.

Many thanks again for your continued support and we look forward to sharing the finished results with you.
