Staff News

We are sad to say that Mrs Petheram will be leaving us next week, after almost 4 years at Team Hordle.

Mrs P is a wonderful member of our Lower Junior and Breakfast Club teams and we are extremely sad to see her leave. 

We know you will join us in wishing her well in her new role, supporting children in care.

Upcoming Team Badger Charity Cake Sale - Thursday 22nd October

Team Badger will be holding it's charity cake sale on Thursday 22nd October to raise funds for their class charity, Guide Dogs.

If you are able to provide some sweet treats (nut and sesame free) please take them to the classroom on the morning of the sale.

We kindly ask all families to provide a list of all ingredients used for any home bakes for allergy purposes.

If you are able to help in selling the cakes please let Mrs O'Connor know.

Please be advised that many products state that they 'may contain nuts' and therefore, whilst all reasonable care is taken, families must be mindful that purchases are made at your own risk. 

We Need You! Poppy Memorial Tribute

We are delighted to announce that we will be installing a new memorial tribute in the courtyard over October half term. This piece has been a year in the design process with all children involved in making clay poppies which are soon to be glazed before creating our very own poppy waterfall display. 

In order to make this a fitting tribute, we are looking to raise funds to purchase two metal black silhouettes of the 'Unknown Tommy and Women In War' from the Royal British Veterans Enterprise.

Should you wish to make a small donation to the memorial garden, please log in to your child's Arbor account where you will have the option of making a voluntary £2 contribution. We also welcome cash donations into the school office should you prefer.

INSET Day / Half Term Reminder

Please be reminded that Friday 23rd October is an INSET day and so both the school and nursery will be closed. Monday 2nd November is also an INSET day, meaning we will not be returning to school and nursery until Tuesday 3rd November. 

Bag2School Collection - Thursday 5th November

Help our school raise funds by donating your unwanted, quality items!

Team PATCH have organised our first Bag2School collection of the year on Thursday 5th November.

Bags can be dropped off to the front school car park from the afternoon of Wednesday 4th November and no later than 9am on Thursday 5th November.

Please place the bags under the provided tarpaulin to protect all clothing from the rain. This is extremely important as wet clothes will not be collected and unfortunately, we will be forced to dispose of them

As well as clothing, Bag2School also accepts items such shoes, hats or bags. For a full list on what you are able to donate, please click here.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.
