At last the work has started on the KS2 hall, a few weeks later than originally planned. The builders have agreed to stop working for our Christmas concerts but I do anticipate we may have to move other planned activities around -if/when this is the case I’ll endeavour to give you plenty of notice via the blog/facebook.
