Love, Honesty, Respect
Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
We enjoyed a lovely traditional Christmas service at St Mary's church this morning; thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate with us. The church looked so beautiful dressed for the festive season.
Our year 6 pupils told the Christmas story confidently and clearly whilst our Butterflies acted out the story of the Nativity which is always such a special event.
Wishing all our families and friends a very merry Christmas and a happy and peaceful 2020.
We have been struck down with illness this week - we hope everyone is fit and well again in the new year.

Once again our pupils delivered parcels to the more senior members of our community. The children were accompanied by Father Christmas and sang carols to the recipients.
Thank you to the Oakley Charities who purchase the gifts each year for this long standing village tradition.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our very special candlelit Christingle service in the school hall this afternoon. The children were shown a presentation by the Children's Society explaining the work they do then sang the Christingle songs.
Candle money boxes filled with coins were returned by the pupils; we will publish the total raised for the Children's Society in the New Year.
