Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Due to the current guidelines regarding the Coronavirus, we have postponed this event. We are hoping to be able to reschedule for the autumn. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help at the races.
On Saturday 21st March 2020, the 16th Annual John William Stacey Memorial Race will be taking place at RAF Benson.
The races are free to enter. Children will need to wear their school PE kit, trainers and bring a water bottle. Registration is from 9.30 am.
Children will be practising their race routes at school. The routes are displayed next to the stairs going down to Y1/2 and also on the PTA Facebook page.

There are certificates for all runners and medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each race. The JWS event trophy goes to the school with the most points (minimum teams of 3 runners from a school in a race to qualify). The Key Stage 1 Champion and Key Stage 2 Champion trophies are awarded to the highest scoring schools, with no team requirement.
Bacon rolls, sausage rolls, baked good and hot and cold drinks will be available to purchase.
Please come to support our runners!
Donations of baked goods for our refreshment stall will be very much appreciated. We also require volunteers on the day for marshalling and serving refreshments. Please contact the school office if you are able to help on the day.
Please note that no dogs are allowed on site.
Our children will be taking part in an intra-house sporting activity on Thursday 12 March in aid of Sports Relief.
Reception children will take part in an obstacle course and the rest of the school will be playing KorfBall. These events will take place in houses and we are asking you to sponsor your child to help them play as best as they can to raise money for Sports Relief.
The house to raise the most money will be awarded a golden token. Results will be announced on Monday 16th March in Assembly.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
