Feedback from you

The PTFA were thrilled to receive so many fantastic suggestions for future events and purchases at the September Coffee Morning, some of which you can see from this report have been actioned. I am pleased to report that your suggestions for additional after school clubs were forwarded to the staff and have been embraced by them with some new clubs already taking place. Your support and feedback is always greatly received and appreciated by the PTFA and I look forward to the year ahead.
