A very BIG THANK YOU to everyone who took part in our Christmas Fair and our fund raising for our defibrillator. We raised a fantastic total of £1,594.51 . Watch out for further updates regarding more fund raising events later on in the year.
We hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer holidays and still making the most of the sunshine whilst it still lasts and those who have siblings who started school this year have settled in well. We trust you have enjoyed looking through your child’s profile book and have a greater understanding of how the new “In The Moment Planning” works and will work with us completing the “Interests and Events at Home Partnership with Parents Information Sheet”. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s keyworker.
