@Thrumptonpri September 16th 2016 A super start to the term with a great learning atmosphere around school. We'd like to say a big welcome to our new pupils who have joined us in Foundation and also Louie, Harley and Matthew who have joined us in other year groups this year. Don't forget to check the website to see the planned learning on the class pages. Catherine Thornton Congratulations! Well done Mrs Nicholson! What an achievement from starting as a volunteer at Thrumpton! She is now a fully qualified Teaching Assistant working in Kids Club We're very proud :)
Wow! Jasper in Year 2 on the pitch with Manchester City. What a fantastic experience and what a credit to Thrumpton!
MacMillan Coffee Morning We will be holding a MacMillan Coffee Morning in school on Friday 30th September starting at 8.45am. All children are invited to bring an adult to enjoy a cuppa, slice of cake & a natter! Donations of cakes & biscuits welcome. Looking forward to seeing you all & raising funds for this fantastic cause.
Thank You! Mrs Bell, the full time Foundation staff & our Midday Supervisors would like to say a HUGE ‘thank you’ to all the Year 6 children for being fabulous ‘buddies’ to the little ones & helping them settle in during their first few weeks of full time school. You’ve all been very kind, caring & thoughtful & a real credit to the school.
Thrumpton's Got Talent We are going to be running our successful talent competition again this term. Auditions will be held before half term followed by our show after half term so we need our talented pupils to get practicing! Singing, dancing, poetry reading, comedy or instrument playing in fact any talent welcome!
Well Done F2! A massive ‘well done’ to all the F2 children for settling in so well. Mrs Bell & Mrs Ardren are very proud of you all. Unfortunately there have been a few cases of head lice spotted on our new full timers so please would parents carefully check their children's heads over the weekend & treat accordingly if anything is found lurking!

Money Reminder May we remind all parents if sending ANY money into school please ensure it is in a named envelope stating the amount & what it is for.
