Today we celebrated a truly special member of our school community – our wonderful Lolly-Pop Lady, Brenda! For an incredible 40 years, Brenda has helped keep our children safe as they travel to and from school, whatever the weather. Through rain , wind , snow and sunshine , she has greeted generations of families with a smile and a friendly wave. Thank you, Brenda, for your dedication, kindness and commitment over the past four decades. You have made such a difference to our school community, and we are so grateful for everything you do. Congratulations on this amazing milestone!

SO PROUD! Last night, eight of our wonderful Year 4 trumpet and trombone players took the stage at the iconic Fairfield Halls in Croydon! What makes this even more incredible? They have only been learning their instruments for 9 months! To perform in front of a big audience at such a massive venue after less than a year of practice is a huge achievement. A special shout-out to Logan, who did an amazing job representing our school by announcing the pieces to the audience! You were all absolute superstarswell done! #TeamGWP #Suttonmusictrust #Brassplayers #FairfieldHalls #Youngmusicians

If your child would prefer to wear their usual uniform, this is also absolutely fine. Please ensure your child comes to school with: A named sun hat A named water bottle Named sun cream We will be keeping the children as cool as possible throughout the day. Children will only be accessing outdoor areas for short periods of time and will be encouraged to stay in shaded areas whenever possible. Thank you for your continued support.
