Dear Parents and Guardians,
It is hard to believe there is less than a week at school left before the Easter holiday. The half term has gone so quickly, and the children have achieved so much! This morning, we were entertained by Bronte leading the Easter Chapel Service. Well done to all of the children involved! There are lots of events to look forward to next week – watching the Year 7 performance of the Lorex, a Prep Department Easter Egg Hunt, House Scramble and half term!
This week in Chapel, the following pupils were presented with certificates:
Star Workers
Reception – Olivia Jenkins
Year 1 – Isla Cameron
Year 2 – Jude Adady
Silver Awards
Year 3 – Theo Anderson
Gold Awards
Year 6 – Caitlin Annis, Thea Love, Isabella Reader, and George Young.
Red Nose Day
The children looked amazing last Friday all dressed in red clothing for Red Nose Day! Thank you for donating online to the Just Giving page and sending your child to school with money to buy cakes from the cake sale. I am delighted to inform you that we raised an incredible grand total of £312.62!
House Scramble – Thursday 28th March
Parents are invited to join us to watch and support the children the annual ‘House Scramble’ relay race on the front field of the school next Thursday 28th March. The race will start promptly at 3pm. All children will be ready to be collected from Clough House after the race and school transport will leave the school at approximately 4pm. Please advise your child’s bus driver if you will be collecting your child following the ‘House Scramble’.
