Christmas festivities

Annual trip to the cinema - Thanks to the PTFA for funding this. The calendar has details of when your children are walking to the Ritz cinema in Belper. CLICK HERE. If you are able to help us walk to the cinema, please let your child’s class teacher know.

Nativity tickets – Every child in reception, year1 and year 2 will be given two tickets for each performance. These will be coming home in a couple of weeks. Preschool children are able to attend without a ticket, but may need to sit on an adult’s lap.

Christmas uniforms- We look forward to the last week of term where children are able to celebrate Christmas with any festive additions to their uniform such as headbands and hair ties. Until then children are to continue to wear uniform as they normally do all year.

Christmas jumper day – Wednesday 18^th December. Children are invited to wear a Christmas Jumper on our Christmas dinner day. They are also invited to earn a bit of pocket money by doing a job around the house to bring a small donation into school that we will use to help purchase some teaching resources to take out to Scott Lane Primary School in Kolkata. Mrs. Richardson travels to Kolkata in January 2025 and it would be lovely for her to be able to take some new classroom resources out with her, funded by our children.

Carol Concert – Monday 16^th December. No tickets are needed. All families are invited to our annual carol concert at St. Peter’s church at 7pm. Our choir will be singing, and Heage Brass Band will be playing to make this a very traditional start to the last week of term.

Christmas Disco – Many thanks to our PTFA for organising this to take place on Thursday 12^th December after school. Details are on the PTFA webpage and the school calendar page.

School is open to day - CLICK HERE. 

If any parents could come with a snow shovel to help clear paths around school for a few minutes this morning that would be appreciated :). Thank you

Derbyshire County Council Household Support Fund

As part of the scheme, the Council will again be distributing grocery vouchers to low-income families.

We will update the website when all vouchers have been distributed and provide details of what parents and carers should do if they haven’t received their voucher.
