Quite surprisingly, in
the Summer of 2010, the school will have been open for 30 years! A celebration
of this landmark has begun and more exciting activities are planned.
Each half term we collect two black dustbin bags full of children's clothing.
Please label all your child's clothing! We can then return it very easily!
Well done us!
