A Very Merry Parkwood

As we near the end of November we can start feeling the excitement of the festive season and all the fun we will have over the Christmas break!

But…we don’t have to wait until the children break up from school to let the festive fun begin. We have been busy working on a number of Christmas events we’re very excited to share with you.

Hopefully you will have already seen all the details on Parentmail in our newsletter, but just in case, here’s a round up of everything coming over the next few weeks.
