• Summer Term Disco - We will be holding a school disco on Friday 3rd July. Tickets cost £5 which includes unlimited squash and a bag of sweets. See attached flyer
• School Games Days

  On Tuesday 30th June, the children will be taking part in the activities morning of our Sports Games Day. All children will need to come to school in their PE kit and trainers. Please note that this event is not open to parents/carers.

  The School Games Day races will be taking place on Thursday 9th July 10am – 12pm approx. at Salesian School Sports Ground (Park Road, GU14 6LR - opposite Park Lodge Guest House) who have kindly loaned us their track for the morning. Spectators are warmly welcomed.

  The children will need to come to school in their PE kit and trainers. They will be walked in classes from South Farnborough to the sports ground and will be seated under gazebos on arrival and during the events. At the end of the races, they will be walked back to school in their classes in time for lunch and the afternoon lessons.

  There will be no vehicular access or parking spaces available at the sports ground. Please be mindful when parking to not block driveways/entrances to local residents and businesses. We recommend that if spectators need to drive, that they park in Queen’s Road or King George V car parks and walk to the track. Picnic chairs or blankets would be useful as we are unable to offer any seating for spectators.

  In the event of rain, a decision will be made on the morning of the 9th July, whether or not the races event can go ahead. If this is the case we will notify you before 9:00am.

  As the children will be very active on both these days, they will need to have a named water bottle and wear a sunhat. Please ensure they have applied sunscreen before school and have some to re-apply if necessary.
