Castle Hill Blog 15/03/24
We have had another exciting week at Castle Hill! Our fabulous Science lead launched the celebration of national Science week with a brilliant assembly to explain all the fun things that will be happening in school next week. Her form participated as official judges for a whole school competition.
Bag2School Collection
The weather might be telling us otherwise, but it is time for that annual spring clear out. Please dig deep into your wardrobes and cupboards for your unwanted clothes, shoes and teddys. Please send in all donations by next Wednesday, 20th March. All proceeds to school visits and rewards. Thank you as always for your support!
Changes to the Public Bus Timetable
Please be aware that if your child travels independently on the public bus there may be some changes to their journey.
Silent Disco Thank you
