Sports for Champions update

We are very sorry to have to tell you

that our visit from Harry George Owen

Olympic gymnast, has been cancelled.

We are hoping to rearrange this for the

summer term, and will let you know if

this is possible. In the meantime, please

hold onto your sponsor forms. For the

families that have already returned

forms we will contact you direct.

Thank you very much to the parents

and carers who helped Lime and Chest-

nut with their walk around Royal

Wootton Bassett on Monday. It is very

much appreciated and we are using our

experience to support our Art, Literacy

and Geography learning for the rest of

the term.

School Fencing

In the interest of school security the Local Authority and Governors have authorised new

fencing within and around our school grounds. This week the fencers are erecting 5ft

and 6ft close board fencing. Over the next few weeks, the perimeter fence around the

playing field area will be replaced with 8ft mesh fencing.
