A brilliant night out for all ages — don’t miss it!

Join us after school for a relaxed get-together for our new Reception families.

Pop in any time between 3.30–4.30pm for a cuppa, biscuits and a chance to meet other parents and children in a friendly, informal setting.

There will also be an optional Build-a-Bear workshop for children who would like to take part. This must be pre-booked, and you’ll need to allow around 20–30 minutes for the workshop.

No need to stay for the full hour – just come along when you can, say hello and enjoy a brew and a biscuit. 🐻💛

Got clothes, shoes or other unwanted textiles taking up space at home? Our next Bags2School collection is a great excuse for a wardrobe clear-out while helping us raise money for the school. 💛

Simply fill a bag with your unwanted items and bring it into school before the collection date.

The more bags we collect, the more money we can raise for St John’s – so please have a rummage through those wardrobes and drawers!

📅 Collection date: 21 October

📍 Drop-off: Reception

Please feel free to share with family and friends too – every bag helps! ♻️

🎄 Dare we say the ‘C’ word…? 🎄

Our ever-so-popular Christmas Wreath-Making Workshop is back for another year! ✨
