Remembrance Day: Wednesday, 11th November 2026 

Those children who are part of a uniformed organisation (Girlguiding, Scouting,  Cadets etc) are welcome to wear their full group uniform to school on November 11th. This is a great way to honour the huge involvement of youth groups in historical events across the country. 

Children in Need Day: Friday, 13th November 2026

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are excited to be taking part in Children in Need Day and would like to invite all children to join us for a fun-filled day of fundraising on Friday 13th November.

Children are welcome to come to school dressed in:

· Spots

· Bright colours

· Or an outfit of their choice

Throughout the day, the children will take part in a range of exciting activities organised by our Junior Leadership Team, including:

· Dancing on the playground

· Acts of kindness activities

· A spot hunt

· Art activities

· And lots more fun!

We are asking for a £1 donation from each child, which will include participation in all of the day's activities. If you would like to donate more, there will be collection buckets at the school gates before and after school.

Toy Sale

At the end of the school day, we will also be holding a Toy Sale to raise additional money for Children in Need.

Children are invited to bring in any unwanted toys that are in good, clean condition. These will be sold after school, with all proceeds going to the charity. Further details about bringing in toys and prices will be shared closer to the event.

We hope this will be a wonderful opportunity for our school community to come together, have fun and support a fantastic cause. Thank you for your continued generosity and support.

Year 2 Disco: Thursday, 3 December 2026

Booking now open!

Get ready to dance, sing and have lots of fun at our Year 2 Disco!

All Year 2 children are invited to join us on Thursday 3rd December, 3 - 4pm, in the School Hall for an afternoon of music, dancing and entertainment from a fantastic children's DJ.

Children can come to school in their own clothes on the day, as long as they are comfortable and suitable for a full day at school. At the end of the school day, teachers will escort children straight to the hall, so there's nothing extra for parents and carers to do. Collection will be at 4pm from the KS1 playground, just like an after-school club.

Tickets cost £2.50, which includes a drink and a packet of crisps. Book your ticket at https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/year-2-disco-2 

Most importantly, we'd love every Year 2 child to be part of the fun. If the ticket cost would make it difficult for your child to attend, please contact us in confidence at cliftonville.ptfa@gmail.com or speak to the school office. We're committed to making sure everyone has the opportunity to join in.

The disco is organised by the Friends of Cliftonville Primary & Pre-School (PTFA), with all proceeds going directly towards supporting our school and pupils.

We can't wait to see Year 2 on the dance floor! 🎉
