Grandparents Morning Tuesday 3rd December 2024

''What an enjoyable time spent in this beautiful warm and friendly school. The children were happy to ask us questions and I will make sure that this evening I will chat to my grandsons and discuss in details what life was like - 70 years ago! This was a good starting point, so Thank You for giving us the opportunity to be here and answer the children's questions.''

''What a  wonderful morning it was for Grandparents Day , it was most enjoyable speaking to the children and being asked questions that did make you think of your own school days and remembering back to that time and era.

Thank you for the delightful tea and cakes which were a lovely surprise and a treat.

It was great to chat to other grandparents  and to remember what our experiences and memories were of school.

I just wanted to thank you all and to say it was much appreciated and lovely to see so many grandparents that attended.

Well done Dorney''

Kindest regards Y3 Grandparent

''I had the privilege of attending Grandparents Day, this morning. I have only seen my granddaughter on the sports field, so it was wonderful to see her, and year 6, in their classroom environment.

The children seemed genuinely interested in their grandparents lives, by the questions they asked. Bless them.

Lovely to have the children join us for tea and mince pies. Thank you.''

Jane from Blue Cross

''I’m writing to say what an absolute pleasure it was to join the open morning last week. My partner and I were so impressed by the confidence and pride of the student ambassadors, they did a brilliant job of helping bring the school to life for us.  

All the staff and children we met were a credit to the school; I don’t think there could have been a warmer and more genuine welcome if they had tried. 

Thank you to everyone who invested time in setting up and running such a wonderful small glimpse into life at the school. And to Mrs Lee for answering our questions.'' 

Open Event Parent

''Just wanted to say Thank You to Miss Ambrose for organising the Stone Age workshop on Friday. My daughter LOVED every minute of it and has memorised the 3 periods of the Stone Age which I'm not even going to try and pronounce. I'm really impressed! Thanks again.''

Brilliantly organised! Lots for the kids, delicious food and AMAZING fireworks! Thank you very much. A lot of hard work was clearly put into the event - we will return next year!''
