Friday 1 August 2025 Week 2 holiday work update Work this week has included new flooring being laid in Year 1 Holly and the Nursery's new dining room area. The bank has also had more prep work done to get ready for the 'perfect grass' to be laid. It's a good job we don't need to come in to school via the playground gate at the moment, the sub base for the grass is piled up so high you can hardly see over the top! Most excitingly of all the work happening this week, the climbing frame area prep work has begun...
