Atwood Newsletter 17th January 2025
From making slime to building shadufs, there has been a lot going on at Atwood this week.
For those parents who will be applying for a reception place for their child for September 2026 we have arranged a series of visits so that they can look around the schools with senior staff.
If you wish to view a school please see here for the available dates. Obviously we have to limit numbers so only parents/carers who have booked will be able to attend.

Happy New Year. It has been lovely to see all the children back in school after the break and we have launched straight back in to our learning.
