Christmas @ Ravenfield Primary Academy
Attached are our Christmas events during December. We have plenty for children and families to look forward to.


Parents Evening
Parent's Evening will take place on Wednesday 10th December from 3:30pm-8pm.
The booking system is live. More information on how to book can be found on Seesaw.
Sickness & Diarrhoea
We are aware of a few cases in school over the past week. We follow HSC Public Health Agency guidance which states children should be kept off school for 48 hours from the last episode of either. If your child does have any sickness & diarrhoea, then we ask you to follow these guidelines and contact school as normal to report their absence. If your child is sent home from school, then this guidance will also apply.
Wear Purple for Bluebell Wood
As some of you may have seen in the community, one of our MLT students Noah Playforth is running a mile a day for Bluebell Wood Hospice. Noah has had so much support from many areas of the Maltby community and at Lilly Hall, we wish to do the same and support him. Noah had a goal of £1,000 when he made this he set himself a goal of £9,000 Noah has now exceeded this amount through determination and hard work through all weathers and typifies many of our core learning characteristics by doing so.
With this in mind, we wish to celebrate Noah's final mile on 1st December by dedicating the day to wearing purple. Your child can come wearing something purple on this day only. Donation buckets will be available at the school for a minimum donation of £1 So wear it purple and support Noah on his last mile!
