Unfortunately, our Yurt has been broken into again and vandalised.
A symbol typically recognised as a hate symbol has been drawn a number of times inside on the canvas.
We will be installing cameras. If the vandalism continues we will have to remove our Yurt because the cost of repair is becoming too much.
Police have been informed.

Throwback Thursday 📸

Take a trip down memory lane with more photos from our school archive. From old classrooms to sports day moments, these snapshots capture years gone by.

Do you recognise anyone?

One from the archives… we have been sorting out some cupboards in school and came across an old photo album 📸

It’s been lovely taking a trip down memory lane. So many smiles, hairstyles, and memories captured in these photos!

🎄 What a fabulous Christmas Fayre! 🎄

We are delighted to share that we raised an amazing £450 at our Christmas Fayre – thank you all so much for your generosity and support!

A very special thank you goes to John Parker from the Haven Club, who kindly donated £100 to DCS. This generous donation helped us to pay for the selection boxes we’ve purchased for the children, bringing lots of festive smiles 🎁✨

Huge thanks to everyone who supported the event in any way, as well as those who supported our other festive events such as the carol service and Christmas performance. Your continued support means so much to us.

The money raised will go towards subsidising school trips, costumes for Christmas and end-of-year performances, and many, many other valuable resources that benefit our children.

We’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎅🎉

Today, some of our Key Stage 2 children went along to a local dementia group at High Harrington Community Centre to sing some Christmas carols, as well as some of their favourite Christmas songs. Each and everyone of the children were amazing and gave it their all. They all enjoyed themselves and were even practicing on the bus journey there. Our audience had a great time too and even joined in with some of the singing. Thank you for inviting us to come along. Merry Christmas!
