You may have read in the local press about the problems Red Lodge Community Pool is having with funding. Our pupils have enjoyed swimming lessons at Red Lodge Pool for many years and to help there fund raising efforts we have agreed to sell raffle tickets for them.

The tickets are 20p each, £1 a book and can be bought from the school office.

Prizes include a speed boat trip for 4 around the Solent, 1 nights stay at Chilworth Manor Hotel for 2, and a Family ticket to Beaulieu.

This extra rehearsal will take place on Thursday 16th February from 9am till 11am. It would be useful for as many as possible members of the team to attend. Thank you.

Everyone had a great time and returned to school bursting with information about the things they had seen and done.  

Read what some of the pupils said on the Recent Events page of the School website. 

Costumes and Props for Rock Challenge performance

Part of our dance takes place in the 1930, 1940 & 1950 period so the team will need old fashioned coats/ hats/ dresses. If anyone has anything that could be used for costume in dressing up boxes or the back of cupboards I would very much appreciate them.

1950's pram - we are also looking to source an old fashioned pram that could be used for this years entry. If this cannot be found does anyone have an old childs buggy or pushchair that we could convert for the performance?

Please return the relevant form to the School office to book an appointment to discuss your child's progress with their teachers on:

• Tuesday 7th February
• Thursday 9th February

Reports will be emailed at the beginning of February and can be discussed on these evenings. Mr Beaven will be available to see parents on the Tuesday evening.
