Uniform

We are aware that our current beige sweatshirts and cardigans divide opinion. We are therefore considering offering an additional colour of sweatshirt and cardigan. If you have any suggestions or comments please email feedback@kingsmead.cheshire.sch.uk by Friday 15th February.

march

• Thursday 7th - World Book Day with a theme of No Outsiders (see January blog and diary dates for more info) . We are NOT dressing up this year, doubtless pleasing some, not so others: next year the situation will be reversed!
• Thursday 14th March - NSPCC will deliver a Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 assembly followed by workshops for children in upper key stage 2. There will be an opportunity for parents to hear from Kirsty from NSPCC from 3-4pm in the staffroom. The NSPCC come every two years to give children important messages about keeping safe and well. To help the NSPCC with its vital work the day is also a non-uniform day - children should donate £1 if they want to wear their own clothes.
