Friday 10th October 

Head Teacher- Mrs Burden 

Another super busy week for the children and teachers. 

This week we chose our Planet Protectors. These children will be working alongside Mrs Fennell to ensure we are doing our bit as a school to help save the planet. On our website, under the key information tab, you can find our Climate action plan. This details the measures our Planet Protectors will be putting in place. Congratulations to the children chosen to take on this vital role for us at Catherington. 

We had so many wonderful applications it was really hard to choose. Below are some pictures of the amazing applications we received.
