Missing Forms
Some Medical information and Data Collection forms were sent home for you to complete in the Friday bags but I haven’t received all of them back. It is important that you complete and return these forms annually to give us up to date information about your child, particularly the medical information forms which we take on all trips.

PTA Family Race Night – FORMS NEEDED TODAY
One week today!! Thank you to those families who have already returned their forms for tickets and horse sponsorship. If you would like to sponsor any horses or buy tickets for the event, please send in your completed forms and payment TODAY as we need to know numbers for catering and have to pass all the sponsorship info on to be put onto the PowerPoint in advance. We also have just three races left needing sponsorship so if you or anyone you know would like to support the event in this way, please get in touch, we would be extremely grateful. If you have any questions about the event, please do not hesitate to ask.
