Dear Parents and Carers 06/05/2021

I hope you all enjoyed the Bank Holiday Monday and made the most of the long weekend.

Thank you to all of you who sponsored your child to take part in the Captain Tom 100 Challenges, your donations will be shared between two charities that support our school – Riverbank and LVA.

Our local MP, Sarah Olney visited school last Friday afternoon which she describes as follows in her weekly newsletter:

‘On Friday I enjoyed a delightful visit to Holy Trinity CE School in Richmond to see the children completing their Captain Tom 100 Challenges. The children did everything from 100 painted hand print ‘high fives’ by the nursery to planting seeds, doing maths problems, and running. I was also interviewed by young reporters from the Kingfisher magazine asking me insightful questions about everything from, ’Have you met the Prime Minister?’ to ‘What made you want to go into politics?’
