Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you!

Thank you all for your generous donations towards our chosen fundraising charities. So far this year, we have raised £482.82 for Saint Francis Hospice, £404.92 for Poppy Appeal and £396.18 for Children in Need. That is a total of £1,283.92. Well done everyone!


Friends of Mead- Christmas Fayre

Following on from the success of last year’s Christmas Fayre, we are delighted to be able to welcome you all back for lots of festive fun tomorrow from 11am-3pm. The Christmas Fayre is a wonderful opportunity for our school community to come together and celebrate the festive season and this wouldn’t be possible without the Friends of Mead. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

We are looking forward to inviting you to share in your child's learning through the stay and learn or showcase sessions that are coming up soon.

Uniform reminders

Trainers can be worn but they must be black with no obvious logos. Cycling shorts and hooped earrings must not be worn as part of school uniform.

Christmas Parties

This year we will have Christmas parties for the children on Monday 18th December. Due to allergies and intolerances and the quantity of food that is donated, we will not be asking for donations of food for the Christmas party. Instead we will be asking for a voluntary contribution of 50p per child to put towards a small selection of party snacks for the afternoon. Further details of how to contribute will be sent out closer to the time.
