FOBCS are creating a 2026 calendar.

This will feature each class and some other photos of children around school. For this, we will be using the permission given when your child was registered.

 

If, for this specific activity, you wish to give a different permission (i.e. that you do consent when previously you would not OR that you don’t consent when previous you would), then please let us know as soon as possible.

Autumn (2) – Clubs

This half term’s clubs will be commencing in the second week of term (i.e. week commencing 10th November). All clubs (except Create Club) will be running for 6 weeks until the end of term. Create Club will not be running on the last week of term.

 

Here is what is available for this upcoming half term: Afterschool Clubs – Aut (2) 25

Royal British Legion – Poppies

As usual, we will be “selling” poppies (as well as, this year, some additional RBL merchandise) for a small donation.

 

If children would like to purchase a poppy (or other item) to help support the Royal British Legion’s Poppy appeal, then they can bring some cash into school. Our heads of school council will be coming around at break and lunch with these.

 

As always, we will be observing a 2-minute silence in school on Rememberance Day itself.

 

Also, please look out for Scorpions’ and Bees’ art display that will be going on display outside church by the Derrington/Station-road junction some time next week.
