• Thinking of you Lewis!

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  Today, one of our pupils Lewis is undergoing major surgery today as he battles with cancer.  Thank you for supporting us in raising funds for Lewis - he was overwhelmed by the local community's generosity.  We bought him lots of goodies that he can enjoy during his recovery, Villa Kit and accessories, Villa 'lego', an Amazon voucher for a game he wanted and a Smyths Toy Voucher!  We are all thinking of you Lewis!

  What a wonderful time children have had this half term finishing with lots of festive fun!  We have had nativity plays from EYFS and KS1 and a lovely carol concert from KS2.  The children have enjoyed discos and a Christmas Fete.  And as we break up for the Christmas Break Santa turned up to give them even more good cheer!  Although the naughty elf also turned up....!

• Time for a panto - oh yes it is!

  Mon 02 Dec 2024

  Forestdale had a visit from the pantomime last week and all the children enjoyed Jack and the Beanstalk - they all took part, laughed, sang and gave those typical panto classics - "behind you" and "oh yes it is..."  It was great to see the children all so animated and they will return to do another show next year!  Even some of the staff got to take part!
