• Rayleigh Christmas Lights Switch On

  Fri 18 Nov 2011

   

  This coming Thursday (24th November) a choir from Edward Francis will be singing at this local event.
  
  Their performance time is 4:15pm.
  
  It would be great to see you there to support the groups of Year 6s and enjoy the other events and stalls that will be in the High Street on that evening.
  
  And didn't they do well, as Brucie would say!
  
  A MASSIVE well done to the whole choir for representing the school so well . . . and being the 1st choir to sing! That must've been nerve wracking!
  You certainly set the standard for the other schools.

  Fri 08 Jul 2011
  Those parents who were here for the start of sports day will know that we had to stop after only a few minutes due to a downpour and the ground then being unsafe for the continuation of the event.  We apologise for any inconvenience that has been caused.  We hope to hold the sports day again on Wednesday 20th July.
