Spring 2025
SCHOOL ASSOCIATION: Easter Egg Hunt Friday 4th April 2025 After the success of last year's Easter Egg Hunt, Chesterton School Association will be holding this year's event on Friday 4th April (straight after school - please arrive to school for the usual pick-up time). Children will need to be accompanied by their parents/carers to participate. Please note that there will be no Tree House session as this is the final day of term. £5 per child Please pay in the usual way via Scopay (deadline Wednesday 2nd April at midday). Please ensure that you book and pay by the deadline, as we cannot extend the date and some children have been disappointed by missing other activities so far this year. As this is an out of school event, payment must be received at the time of booking. If payment is not received at this point, your booking will not be accepted. If your child has a younger sibling (not at the school) who would like to attend, please pay on Scopay. If the younger sibling has any dietary needs, please email the School Association at chestertonschoolassociation@outlook.com.

All pupils should be collected from the playground at 5pm in the same way as on a normal school day.

Please note that this a change to our planned Christmas activities, replacing the Christmas Tale evening that was advertised for Thursday 19th December. There is no Tree House provision on Wednesday 18th December.  Elfridges is Back! What is Elfridges? Elfridges is a secret shop run by "Elves" at school during school hours where children can purchase Christmas gifts for loved ones without their grown-ups. How does it work? In exchange for festive themed dress-down-day on Friday 6th December, we kindly ask children to bring donations to the Elfridges sale. Any grown-up presents are fine e.g. candles, cosmetics, clothes, jewellery, books etc. (no alcohol or glass bottles please). "Elves" will sort through the donations and set up shop. Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th December the shop will be open, and each child will be given an opportunity to buy a gift for their grown-up. £3 per gift (cash only; maximum 2 presents per child). "Elves" will wrap the presents for the children, who then can bring it home and place under the Christmas tree. *For the younger children (Maple, Beech, Ash) please put the money in the envelope together with a note who they are buying for (e.g. Mum, Dad, Grandmother) – Elves will then help them to choose an appropriate gift. This was a truly enjoyable event in 2023. Let's make it even better this year! Best wishes, The School Association  Did you know that 1 in 4 Christmas jumpers are thrown away and never worn again?! Let’s change that... Bring your old/unwanted (children or adult) Christmas jumpers to school (children to drop off on table in the school hall) on 20th and 21st November and donate it to our sale.
