• Cake Sale Raises Over £300 for Animals of The Australian Bush Fires!

  Mon 03 Feb 2020 Mr Tague
  Our school council raised an amazing £309 (with a bit more to come) from a cake sale to help the displaced and injured animals of the Australian bush fires. The sale was entirely their own idea and it reflects the caring nature of our children by thinking of others before themselves. Well done to Mrs Riley and the School Council and of course to the kind donations from our families.

• New fish for our aquarium

  Fri 31 Jan 2020 Mr Tague
  On Thursday four lucky RPS Wristband children went to Dobbies Garden Centre in Findern to collect some new fish for our aquarium. The children had fun learning about the fish and also picking the ones for the tank. They were also treated to a snack and drink in the cafe. Our wristband wearers were exceptionally behaved as you'd expect and it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with them.
