WORLD BOOK DAY – THURSDAY 7 MARCH

World Book Day is fast approaching on Thursday 7 March. We love to see our staff and students getting fully involved and we are busy planning lots of great opportunities during this week to really encourage and celebrate our school-wide love of reading.

Our team of student librarians will be selling pre-loved books during break and lunch time in the Library on Thursday 7 March.

We are looking for donations of children’s/teen and young adult fiction or non-fiction books that you no longer need. Please ask your child to bring them in to school by Tues 5 March – they can be left at Reception or taken to the Library.

BUDGET FRIENDLY AUTISM EMPOWERMENT WEBINARS FROM THE AUTISM TRAINING NETWORK

This is a low cost one hour monthly lunchtime webinar session which will give attendees an overview knowledge about Autism, but we will cram as much information, coping strategies, reasonable adjustments and support tips into it as best as we can.

The webinar can be accessed by anyone, whether they are a parent, Teaching Assistant or just someone wanting to know more about Autism. Anyone attending will receive a certificate of attendance.
