Monday 27th June 2016 From the office…
Another busy week is in prospect once again, with a focus on the Arts as we use the current range of sporting events and activities in the news as inspiration for our work. We are all looking forward to our Exhibition on Friday afternoon (from 14.00 in the school hall) and also to the support of Year 10 Haygrove pupils spending the week with us on Work Experience. With our Year 6 pupils starting to visit their new schools this week, it promises to be an exciting time for all!
