Thank You from the Staff

We would like to say a massive thank you to all the families for their thoughtful gifts to staff.  Your generosity and appreciation mean so much and truly made this time of year extra special. We are very grateful for your continued support and partnership.

Christmas Card Delivery

The Year 2 children were out and about this week, delivering Christmas cards to the local businesses on the High Street. They were greeted with lots of enthusiasm and the businesses were delighted to receive our Christmas messages.  Look out and see if you can spot the cards when you are out and about.

Reception Carol Singing

Reception went carol singing at the British Legion where they entertained the crowd with songs from the Nativity. We would like to thank everyone who donated from the British Legion as they gave £77 for the school.

VSA Update

Thank you so much for a brilliant first term. Whether you came along to events, volunteered your time, donated bottles for the tombola, bought raffle tickets, or supported in any other way, we’re incredibly grateful. The VSA thrives on the enthusiasm of our school community, and you’ve helped make this term a great one. Thanks to everyone's amazing support, we’ve raised in the region of £7,500 this term!

A quick reminder that our Family New Year’s Eve Party is coming up on 31 December from 5.30 to 7.30pm.  It’s shaping up to be a fantastic early‑evening celebration with a disco, kids’ entertainer, bar, food, tuck shop, and a special countdown so the children can enjoy the NYE excitement without the late night. Friends and family are all very welcome to join. We’d love to see as many families as possible there to round off the year together. The deadline to purchase tickets is 29 December. Tickets are available at https://www.pta-events.co.uk/victoriaschoolassociation.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas break!
