Community Tea at St.Mark’s School
Please join us at St. Mark’s School, for a community tea, on Tuesday October 17th, from 2.00 until 3.00
We are looking forward to ‘showcasing the school’, and the children will be working and talking about their learning.
It’s an opportunity for all villagers – young and elderly, past parents, anyone that is interested in St. Marks School to join us.
It remains the hub of our community and we want everybody to celebrate that.
And the icing on the cake is that everyone gets tea and CAKE!
The lovely painting of the school, used on our publicity flyer, is reproduced by kind permission of local resident and artist, John Eliot.

I am delighted to be able to give you more exciting information about our next HDD&VC meeting on the 15th. May, which is at 7.30pm in the Village Hall.
A select number of boys, who managed to achieve grades which merit an application to Oxford or Cambridge in their A-Levels, experience a term of revelation at their grammar school as they are tutored for the “most important exam of their lives” in history.
