What a wonderful day we had at Hartlebury on Friday 8th March 2024, celebrating all of our wonderful Mothers.

We started with our wonderful Mother’s Day Service at 9.00am in St James’ Church, where we held our celebration of Mums.

All the children went over to the Church to take part.

It was a beautiful service and it was lovely to see so many people come along to join us for this special event.

A special thank you to the PTA for providing all of our Mother’s with some beautiful Daffodils to take home.

We continued the celebrations with a very special Mother’s Day Lunch in school, cooked and delivered by our wonderful AIP caters Jacqueline, Leanne and Lisa.

Mothers were invited into school to sit and eat lunch with their children.

We hope you all enjoyed the day as much as we did.

On Thursday 20^th May, we are having “The Hungry Caterpillar” theme day.

Bookings are to be made through your ParentPay account.

If your child is already booked in on this day , you  will have to rebook for the special.

Many Thanks,

Lois

We had a lovely day on Friday 4th October 2024 acknowledging and celebrating the important contribution made by grandparents or special loved ones to their families.

This year, Grandparent’s Day is on Sunday 6th October. In recognition of this event, we invited Grandparents, or for those without grandparents, a family member or special person/loved one, to a very special lunch with our children.

Thank you to everyone in the Kitchen for the lovely Fish and Chips and Onion Bhaji’s that were cooked and served to all our wonderful families.

The children really enjoyed having their loved ones in school and it was really nice to receive such wonderful feedback from those who attended.
