Mr Day

I am sad to say that Mr Day will be leaving Seaburn Dene on Tuesday, 31st October for pastures new - Northumbrian Water, to be precise.
I hope you will join me in wishing him the very best of luck in his new career. Mr Day will be missed in school and has made a tremendous impact since starting with us in September last year, not least with the children and our football teams.
I hope that Mr Day continues his coaching journey, despite his new challenge and we wish him well, remembering that he is always a part of our school family.

Would you like to meet up with other parents and help us run fundraising activities in school? The Friends Group will be having a meeting next Thursday, 19th October at 2.15pm in school. No need to make any big commitments, come along, have a coffee and see how we help school raise funds and give the children fun activities at the same time. See you at the school office 2.15pm!

Football

Our Yr 5/6 Football team - had an unbeaten start to a new season after promotion to Division B, winning both games v Broadway Juniors and Valley Road Primary with two clean sheets too.

School Photos

Wild North Photography were in this week taking our children's photos and they are delighted with the result. Photos won't be available for another 3/4 weeks so if your child came home with a form to allow you to access the photos can you please either keep the form in a very safe place or complete the registration form. Once registered you will receive an email when the photos are ready to view. We are keeping the majority of the forms in school and will send them home once the photos are ready.
