OTHER INFORMATION

Electricity Workshop

Your child will soon be bringing a letter home about an exciting electricity workshop we have planned to take place in school on Monday 22nd January 2024. The learning session covers the science curriculum objectives of the electricity topic.  It is an exciting, workshop giving pupils the opportunity to experience hands-on experimenting, learning about various circuits using custom made circuit boards and much, much more!

We are asking for a contribution of £6 towards the cost of this workshop, which can be paid via SchoolHub.  Whilst this payment is voluntary, unfortunately without your valuable contribution, this workshop may not be able to go ahead.
