School Halloween Disco is on Weds 23rd (KS2) and Thurs 24th October (Reception and KS1).

Great news, DJ Scott Armstrong is back again to make some noise, mix the tunes and have fun. Thanks for being so generous with your time, Scott.

And if you don't get enough of Scott's music, you can hear him on Nova Radio North East presenting Back To The 80's on Saturdays 12-2pm.

Don't forget this weekend is the Farewell Weekend! If you didn't manage to see all the Shauns on the trail over the summer now is your final chance!

Many thanks again to our PTA friends and family who enabled us to raise funds to adopt our very own South Gosforth First School designed Shaun. We are looking forward to seeing him back in school soon!

Don’t miss your final chance to bid your favourite Shaun sculpture goodbye at our Farewell Weekend, before they are auctioned off to find their forever homes.
