Home & School Movie Night - Friday, November 22nd - CANCELLED!

We are cancelling the Toy Story 4 movie night (Friday Nov 22nd), as we do not have enough parental volunteers to safely run an event at the school tomorrow night.

We need a certain number of volunteers to allow the smooth and safe running of any large event and, sadly, we were not able to make even our lowest required number of volunteers.
We will likely reschedule for the New Year, when hopefully people have a little more time available to help out!

Thanks to those who had volunteered, and apologies for any inconvenience this causes,
