• Special Visitor in school for 15 months

  Thu 27 May 2021

  So, back on Monday we had our first Special Visitor in school for 15 months - Andrea Mills – successful children’s author and ex-Wickham Common pupil. It was wonderful to see her, hear her latest story and enjoy witness our children demonstrate their extensive, deep knowledge and love of Reading … as the children answered so many questions with such enthusiasm I could see their teachers brimming with pride! Well done to you all for encouraging and supporting this – the world’s most powerful and crucial life skill!

• The Coram Life Education Bus

  Thu 27 May 2021

  This is a magnificent service that the children and teachers love equally and is 100% funded by our brilliant PTA – thank you!

• Return of the School Disco - 11 June

  Mon 24 May 2021

  This Summer's Disco – will take place on Friday 11th June 2021. Lower school children may wear their own clothes to school that day - sparkle as much as you like! Upper school (year 3 and above) are advised to change at home and come back in their disco gear!

   

  What's different?

  This summer the Disco will be held outdoors, and set over 3 sessions due to Covid restrictions,

  1. Reception, Years 1 & 2. Children will be escorted by teachers straight to Disco. Pick up is 4pm.

  2. Years 3 & 4. Arrive at 4.15. Pick up is 5.10pm

  3. Years 5 & 6. Arrive at 5.25. Pick up is 6.30pm

   

  How to pay

  The cost for each pupil is £5.00 payable by SIMS PAY ONLY – this includes disco entry, snacks (packet of crisps, Haribo sweeties, ice pop and a drink) and an amazing DJ!

   

  Lending a hand

  As usual we always need help to run the disco. If you can help out, please email the PTA at discowickhamcommon@gmail.com stating which session you can attend – you will only be needed for the session your child is in.
