In recent weeks, our Year 6 children have taken part in Bikeability. The children were able to learn about riding their bikes on the road and the safety precautions to take when doing so.

Mrs Bennett, Mr Burnham, Miss Morris and Miss Linden would like to say a massive thank you to the mums and dads who helped year one at the park this morning.
