PTA Disco

The PTA would like to invite all children to a disco in school on Thursday 26th Jan 4:30 – 6:00pm.

Tickets will cost £2 per child which includes a sausage in a bun and unlimited squash. There will also be a tuck shop if children would like to buy some extra treats.

If your child would like to attend, please send £2 cash into school in a named envelope with details of any dietary requirements we should be aware of.
