WHINF – Zoolab!
This week in Reception we were fortunate enough to have a very exciting visit from ‘Zoo Lab’!
For those parents who will be applying for a reception place for their child for September 2026 we have arranged a series of visits so that they can look around the schools with senior staff.
If you wish to view a school please see here for the available dates. Obviously we have to limit numbers so only parents/carers who have booked will be able to attend.
