News & Key Dates


WELCOME TO OUR NEW TWYNHAM PRIMARY PARENTS

As our current Reception year children start their transition into Year 1, we extend a warm welcome to the new children and parents joining us this September. We invite you all to follow our social media feeds, where we post regular updates on activites, trips and events taking place throughout the school year.

SCHOOL UNIFORM

A reminder to all parents that our school uniform is changing in September - see our Uniform & PE Kit page for full details. Please bear this in mind when puchasing new, or second-hand uniform for your child over the coming months. Our uniform stockists, Stevensons, will have all of our new uniform available from 12th June. Anything not currently in stock will be available to pre-order.


PARKING 

We would like to thank those parents adhering to our policy regarding use of the school car park. Can we also remind everyone to show consideration for the safety of our children and our neighbours by parking courteously and in sensible locations (i.e. not near bends, in front of driveways etc.). Wherever possible, we would encourage children to walk, cycle or scoot to school, helping us to reduce the volume of traffic around the school site and keeping our children active and healthy.

SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHS

Twynham Primary PTFA

Our fantastic PTFA, run by an incredible bunch of volunteers, raises much needed funds for the school through its fund raising events.

A particular highlight of the school year is our Summer Fair, which is only possible with the support of volunteer helpers. Without support from our school community, this event cannot go ahead so, please, if you are able to help cover some of the stalls throughout the day, or can support the event in any way, get in touch: twynhamprimaryptfa@gmail.com

Are you a parent with a small business (or someone that makes and sells anything)? If you'd be interested in having a stall at our Summer Fest, please contact us: twynhamprimaryptfa@gmail.com
