Money Raised

Hot off the press: thanks to all the great work from the Friends, we made £616.29 profit from Sports Day. This will go towards projects for every child.

Colour Run

Due to the potential NEU strike days next week, we have made the decision to adjust the event schedule to ensure the smooth running of the Colour Run.
As you may know, strikes are unpredictable, and we cannot preempt the decision to strike or not. Therefore, to avoid any potential disruption to the event, we have rescheduled the Seaburn Dene Colour Run to take place between Monday, 3rd July and Wednesday, 12th July, with the children completing as many laps as possible, daily, in the run up to the 12th July.
The main event, the Colour Run itself, will now be held on Wednesday, 12th July between 1.45pm and 3.15pm. To accommodate the different age groups, we have divided the run into two sessions. EYFS/Key Stage 1 will be the early runners, expected to finish their run around 2.30pm (Year 1) and released to parents if possible, more information will follow about these arrangements. Following them, Key Stage 2 children will finish their run around 3.15pm. We believe this arrangement will allow each group to have their moment and enjoy the event to the fullest.
We are delighted to announce that a tuck shop will be available during the event, open from 1.30pm to 3.30pm on the school yard. This will provide an opportunity for both parents and children to enjoy some refreshments and snacks before and after the main event.
We understand that this change of dates may require adjustments to your schedules, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. However, we believe that rescheduling the event is in the best interest of everyone involved, as it allows us to ensure a successful and uninterrupted Seaburn Dene Colour Run experience for our children.
Your support and encouragement are vital in making this event memorable for our children. We kindly request that you still make every effort to be available and join us in cheering your children on (with water guns!) as they complete this exciting and memorable occasion. Your presence will undoubtedly boost their confidence and make them proud of their achievements.
We will be providing further updates and information regarding the Seaburn Dene Colour Run as we approach the new dates. Sponsorship forms are available for all children from school and have been distributed. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. We are always here to assist you.
Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and continued support in making the Seaburn Dene Colour Run a success. We look forward to celebrating this event with you and our incredible pupils.
