Ms Reeve–Hodgson and Mrs Griffiths are running a family activities morning for anyone who would like to come along and familiarize themselves with lower school. The activities will include fire lighting, making a bee hotel, clock making and lots more things.

Tuesday 2 July – Transition Day at QE 9.30am to 2.30pm also Transition Parent evening 7pm to 9pm

This is the big one! All year 6 will be at QE for the day. They will experience a 'normal' day at QE, with timetabled lessons and guidance on all the necessary logistics!  Students will take part in lessons with a team building twist and meet (some!) of their new classmates and teachers. It is the responsibility of individual parents to arrange transport to and from QE on that day. There is an information evening aimed at parents and children, designed to tell you all you need to know about the practicalities of life at QE.
