Rising prices can make life's little treats harder to afford, especially during the school holidays when costs build up for families. This Government is    determined to help, and that is why last month the Chancellor announced the Great British Summer Savings scheme. From 25 June to 1 September 2026, the Government is temporarily cutting VAT from 20% to 5% on children's meals in restaurants, children and family tickets to cinemas, theatres, concerts and exhibitions, and admission to a wide range of attractions. Combined with free bus travel during August for children aged 5 to 15 in England, families and young people will be able to enjoy experiences that make summer special, including visits to the kinds of cultural and educational attractions that enrich  children's lives outside the classroom.

As part of this campaign, we have launched an attraction finder website which allows families to type in their postcode and find participating    venues near them to make the most of summer savings. To use the attraction finder, please        visit https://summersavings.gov.uk.

Throughout the summer holidays, families can  access free Kellogg's breakfasts in all Morrisons Cafes everyday.

From September Mrs Khan will be taking over Mr Walsh as the School Business Manager.

Please can you support the safety of our school community by driving and parking around school grounds in a considerate way. We have recently had an incident where a car has been abandoned in front of the school car park causing congestion on Roch Mills Crescent.

Please can you also be mindful of your speed around the school roads, as there are lots of pedestrians in this area at drop off

and pick up times

Thank you for your support.

On Tuesday 14^th July, we will be holding our annual Year 6 Leavers’ Disco.  It will take place from 5.00pm – 7.00pm and will include a buffet and disco. 

Due to the disco finishing late, all children will need to be collected by an adult (18 years old or over) at 7.00pm prompt. The cost of the event is £5.00 to help to pay for the disco and food. Please note mobile phones are not allowed.

Please go to Parent Mail to complete the consent form (which can be found in the forms section) and please go to the payment section to purchase your child’s ticket.

A huge thank you from our School Council and  Reading Ambassadors for making another Stationery Shop such a great success. The shop has provided the children with a wonderful opportunity to develop and enhance their entrepreneurial skills, as well as build confidence and responsibility.

Following its success, we are planning to run the  Stationery Shop on a termly basis next year. Thank you once again for your continued support - we couldn't do it without you!

On Thursday morning, Roshaan and Inaya proudly represented our school at Whittaker Moss Primary School on behalf of the School Council. They delivered a presentation showcasing the many achievements and successes of our School Council over the past two years. In recognition of their hard work, commitment, and positive impact, our School Council was presented with the Silver Award. This is a fantastic achievement and reflects the dedication of all our School Council members.
