May Day and Coronation Celebration Friday 5th May 2023

As you know we have been preparing and are looking forward to our May Day celebration on Friday 5th May and this year, we are combining it with our celebration for King Charles III’s coronation.

Children should come to school at normal time and are invited to come to school in red, white and/or blue appropriate for the weather. ALL children must wear non-slip shoes, strapped or laced, as they will be skipping or running around the Maypole.

Parents and careers are invited to join our celebration which will start at 11:00am. Parents will be admitted to the playground through the small car park gate at 10:45am. Please note that this gate will be locked once the children are on the playground for an 11:00am start.

We also invite you to bring a picnic to enjoy with your child during their lunch break. More information can be found in the letter sent home.

We are very much looking forward to this event as are the children and do hope to see you there.

Headteacher
