Spring Term Updates

ELSA study - If you haven't had a chance to look at this study information, it isn't too late to support the research for diabetes screening.  Please see the poster below for more information and please sign your children if you feel you can.  Poster further down the page. Deadline for registration is Wednesday 5th February.  You can find more details by clicking here.

 

Reminders:

NSPCC's 2025 Number Day on Friday 7th of February is the NSPCC's 2025 Number Day. As part of taking part we will be having a 'Dress up for Digits' day, where the children are invited to bring in a donation for the NSPCC and dress up as a Digit or number. This could be as simple as just having a number on a piece of clothing or it can be as creative and as imaginative as you like.

RRS Committee request for help - please click here for their latest blog to see if you can help them with their RIGHT's Bags.

Could you foster? 

At Nexus Fostering based in Lolworth, we’re looking for local people like you to become foster carers. By providing a loving and stable home environment, you can support the increasing number of children and young people in the local area who cannot live in their family homes. Not all children require long-term care. We also need foster carers for short-term placements, respite care, and to provide temporary homes to support young parents and their babies. So, if you have a spare room and are ready to change lives, please give us a call on 01223 903 503 or email Leanne on leannea@nexusfostering.co.uk.
