Our Federated Christmas Fair was a great success. We raised a fantastic £1500 at Briar Hill alone. Thank you to everyone who helped out whether it was setting up, running a game, donating a prize or clearing up afterwards, you all helped hugely to achieve this.
Thank you for your support with the locking of our car park, it ensured that all of our families were safe moving across from site to site, and there was a lot of movement! It was lovely to see and hear lots of children talking about going to the other one or children from St Margaret's coming to enjoy the Briar Hill fair too. We are looking forward to the Summer one already!

Makaton is a language programme that uses signs, symbols and speech to aid and support communication. Staff at Briar Hill school have recently undertaken Makaton training to support some of our children to communicate with staff and other pupils. We have also established a Makaton Club which is open to Year 1 and 2 children, this runs at lunchtime.

We will soon be introducing a ‘sign of the month’ that will be displayed around the school, on the school website and will be taught to all children in school.

Children who attend the Makaton Club are taking part in a special assembly during which they will perform a song that they will sing and sign to. We will be inviting parents of those children who attend the club to come in to the assembly and watch.
