Apologies, but we have just been informed that the cricket festival tomorrow will not be going ahead due to a waterlogged pitch. It will hopefully be rearranged, and children will be notified of a new date once organised.
All pupils who were participating in the cricket festival can now attend the TATA Steel Triathlon at Mold Leisure Centre. They will just need a parent/carer to sign a consent form. Mrs Critchell will be in school from 8:00 am for those who need to sign the consent form.
Children will need to come into school with swimwear under sports clothing including trainers. They will also need a packed lunch, towel, a change of clothing and coat if the weather is cool on the day.
Regards,
Mrs Roberts

Unfortunately, we are postponing sports day today due to the amount of rain that has fallen over the past 24 hours.  This has resulted in the field currently being unsafe to run on and with temperatures forecast today the grass will not dry in time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and will move to our Sports Day 2^nd date of Monday 17^th June.
