We want to say a huge thank you to all of the services and parents that took part in our Community Pop Up Event yesterday at school. We hope you all took away supportive information, and found other resources for yourselves and your children to access. 35 adults were entered into the prize draw for visiting every stall. The draw has been pulled and 2 parents have been selected to collect their £40 Amazon voucher tomorrow. We will be calling them today. After half term holidays, we will be sending our a parent voice to see if this is something you would like more of throughout the year.
