We are raising money for Comic Relief this year by holding a ’dress in red’ day. on Friday 15th March 2019. All children are invited to come to school in non uniform (including an item of red) for a donation of £1.

Last week, the children in Year 4 took part in their very own Marland Hill Multiplication Masters competition.

Incredibly well done to Nourane Ben Cheikh who scored an amazing 34 out of 35 in just one minute. Outstanding effort!
