• National Handwriting Day

  Fri 23 Jan 2026

  It was wonderful to welcome parents/carers into school to celebrate National Handwriting Day today. ✏️✨

  The children were so excited to share their learning and proudly showed how they have been focusing in class on letter formation and neat presentation. There was a real buzz in the school as families joined in, admired the progress being made and saw first-hand how hard the children have been practising.🌟
