Dear Parents/Carers,
Dear Parents and Carers,
We would like to extend our wishes to all of our families celebrating Eid. Eid is a time of reflection and togetherness and an opportunity to celebrate with family and friends. Wishing you all a very special day!
‘Dress Yourself up Funny’ – Red Nose Day 2026Red Nose day is a time when we come together as a school community to make a difference. Today we celebrated Red Nose Day with the theme ‘Dress yourself up funny’. Some pupils did just that and even brought along jokes to share with class mates.
Thank you in for supporting this day and helping our school community make a difference.
Please remember that your child’s World Book Day voucher can be redeemed for a book at Dagenham Heathway Library on Monday 23rd March 3:30pm-5pm. Please do take advantage of this offer. Some books will be available that require some additional payment so please encourage your child to bring along their pocket money should they prefer to buy one of those chargeable books.

We look forward to seeing you then!
