As we approach Christmas, I would like to thank families for your ongoing support in making Fairburn View a special place for your children.
We know how much you appreciate the work we do in school, however, this year, as the cost of living spirals, we ask that you save any money you may have spent on teacher gifts and spend it on your own families instead. As you can see we have so much planned to spend time with your children with fun activities – this is present enough for us.
Thank you
And let us all have a fun Christmas time together.
Mrs Brownlee
Head teacher
