  Dress up Day - Colours of the Rainbow
  There will be a whole school dress up day on Monday 7th July to kick start the week (No sports tops or football kits please). Children are invited to come to school dressed as a colour from the rainbow! You can interpret this any way you like, but we have deliberately kept the theme broad so it can be as simple as you like.

  The school is subsidising the cost of the theatre company but are asking for voluntary donations towards that cost of £2.50 on the day, which can be paid in cash or on Eduspot. Thank you for helping the school provide these opportunities.
