<p><strong>Wednesday 7th October</strong> saw our school community come together for a wonderful Harvest Lunch celebration. Parents and carers were warmly welcomed into the school hall to enjoy a special meal alongside their children, creating a fantastic opportunity for families to share part of the school day together.</p>

<p>The event was a great success, with many parents and carers joining us for the occasion. Guests enjoyed a delicious traditional roast dinner, followed by a choice of scrumptious desserts, all lovingly prepared by our talented cook and chef, <strong>Claire</strong>. Adding a personal touch to the event, our Headteacher, <strong>Mrs Lisa King</strong>, helped serve lunch to our parents and carers, making everyone feel especially welcome.</p>

<p>Thank you to all the families who attended and helped make the afternoon such a memorable occasion. Events like these strengthen the partnership between home and school and are always a highlight of the school year. We look forward to welcoming families to many more community events in the future. 🍂🍽️</p>

<p>Our School Council was delighted to host a highly successful <strong>Macmillan Coffee Afternoon</strong>, welcoming parents, carers and staff to come together in support of cancer research and those affected by cancer.</p>

<p>Guests enjoyed a wonderful selection of homemade cakes, tea and coffee, while taking the opportunity to socialise and support this important cause. Thanks to the generosity of our school community, valuable funds were raised to help support the vital work carried out by Macmillan.</p>

<p>We would like to extend a huge thank you to our dedicated School Council members for their hard work in organising the event, as well as to all the parents, carers and staff who attended, donated and contributed so generously. Your kindness and support helped make the afternoon a tremendous success.</p>

<p>Together, we have demonstrated the strength of our school community and the difference we can make when we come together for a worthy cause. 💚☕🍰</p>
