As part of our Christmas celebrations we will be holding a Christmas Movie Day on Thursday 18/12/25. As part of this, your child is welcome to bring in 1 packet of either crisps or sweets to enjoy whilst watching the film. Please only send 1 item in to ensure pupils and families do not feel in competition. Children will not be sharing their item with anyone else as we have a number of allergies in school including dairy, nuts, milk, tomatoes and pineapple. Please do not send any items that contain nuts or pieces of nuts, as we have pupils with severe nut allergies.
