Hot News!

Great news for Thomas Gray as our school has secured funding to totally revamp an outdoor area. Year 6 children approached o2 to ask for help in creating a new outdoor learning and nature area. As a result we are now very excited about the Thomas Gray  ’Meadow project’ which will enhance our school grounds and enrich the outdoor learning opportunities for our children.

On Saturday the 2nd March, we need lots of adult help to help prepare the areas concerned. The school will be open from 9 till 5 pm where all the hard work will be done. On Sunday the 3rd March, we will have a grand opening ceremony with Juice FM providing music, entertainment and an outdoor barbeque. We are also hoping to have a local celebrity to attend our official opening!

WE NEED LOTS OF ADULT HELP FOR SATURDAY 2nd MARCH!

The only skills needed are hard work, enthusiasm and a smile! Refreshments will be provided for all volunteers so if you can spare some time please sign up at the school office.

(Please note that the Saturday is for adults only due to the nature of the work. On the Sunday all members of the school community are invited to attend our opening ceremony!
