Reception children will be having their 'taster swimming session' on Wednesday 19 June. The taster session is to show children the school swimming process, with going on the bus, getting to the swimming pool, navigating the swimming pool and meeting the Rugby School swimming teachers. 

Children will all be put into buoyancy aids to begin with as swimming teachers begin their assessment process for safety at this session. It is a fun taster session and their swimming level assessment will take place in September. 

Please ensure swimming kit is brought in on the morning of their swim, children can wear their own swimming costumes/swim caps for this taster but they will need to have Crescent school swimming kit for September. This can be ordered via the uniform order form.

Wednesday 26 June 2024 - 2.45pm to 3.30pm

• a Crescent school sunhat (these can be purchased from the school office)
• a refillable drinks bottle of water

Sports days are always very much anticipated by the children and really enjoyable for all involved.  Please book your tickets by Sunday 16 June:

Reception Class Sports Day

Thursday 27 June - 3.00pm to 3.30pm

Our ‘Open Book’ afternoon is on Thursday 27 June for Years 1 to 5.  This is a chance for you to share all of your child’s books with them at their desk and see what they have enjoyed this year in the classrooms. The front door will be open at 3.00pm and you will be told which classroom your child will be in at that time of the day. Due to space we can only accommodate one adult per child. You can of course have a different adult booked with another sibling or split your time between children taking the other children with you.

Please note this is not a Parent Teacher consultation, but a lovely opportunity for you and your child to share their work. You will be able to take many, but not all, of the books home afterwards.

I do hope you can join us, please book your ticket(s), below by Tuesday 25 June via the link below:

Open Book Afternoon

Dear Year 6 Parents

It is my pleasure to invite you to our version of A Midsummer Night’s dream on Tuesday 25 June at 6.30pm.

A Shakespeare play where nothing is quite as it seems. Mistaken identity, a play within a play and love stories galore - Year 6 have been working very hard, learning lines and songs and developing their characters for a show which promises to be the best one yet!

I hope you can come and join us to see the Athenians surrounded by magic, and Bottom and his motley crew performing Pyramus and Thisbe for your enjoyment.

Please book your tickets below:

A Midsummer Night's Dream

The playground will be open for parking from 6.00pm and please enter the school via the front entrance where refreshments will be served.

Kind regards
