Wednesday 18th October 2023
We will once again be holding our annual grandparent’s tea party on Wednesday 18th October 2023. This year, we kindly request a donation of £2 per grandparent. The closing date to book this event is Friday 13th October at midday. You will receive tickets once you have booked on ParentPay from Monday 16th.
We respectfully ask that only Grandparents attend this event. Prior to the event, we ask that parents log into ParentPay to make payment for the event and to confirm numbers of Grandparents attending – this will ensure we have enough cake and biscuits! Please also confirm whether your child will leave school with their grandparent. For safeguarding reasons, they will not be able to do so unless this has been confirmed via ParentPay.
On the day, could all Grandparents arrive at school for 2.00pm at the main entrance where you will then be escorted to your Grandchild’s class (if you have more than one, we will try to gather them all together!).
You will spend around 30 minutes in the classroom where we hope you will enjoy some time sharing harvest craft activities with the children.
At 2.30pm you will be invited to come to one of our refreshment areas with your Grandchildren for tea and cake / biscuits. We know it is tempting to sneak extra treats for your Grandchildren, but please do not, as we will only have catered for Grandparents. Children will get a drink and a biscuit!
Just before home time, all Grandparents and children will return to the class of the youngest sibling and can leave school via the classroom doors (with children if this has been arranged); from there, Grandparents may collect from other classrooms in the usual way.
Donations: we are passionate about offering real-life experiences for all of our children and your payment (which can be more than £2 if you wish) will support us not only in providing you with cake (!) but also subsidising our trips and visits offer for everyone.
