Fundraising concert with Newtown Silver Band
Thank you to everyone who supported this joint fundraising concert with Newtown Silver Band. We raised a fantastic total of £400 to be shared between us.
Newtown Silver Band are offering free instrument hire and lessons. If your child is interested, please see Mrs Haine.
Governor Vacancies
We have two vacancies on our governing body for Community Governors. These can be any member of the community and do not need to have a connection to the school. If you know of someone in Forden who has the skills or experience required to contribute to the effective governance and success of the school, and would like this opportunity to help direct the strategic direction of the school, please contact Mrs Fowler.

Drop in MMR vaccination clinics available during half term
Cases of Measles are increasing in the UK. Measles can be a very serious disease and cause severe, even life threatening complications. Make sure your child is protected – it is never too late to catch up! 2 doses of the MMR vaccine are needed for 95% protection against Measles.
If you are unsure of your child’s vaccination status you can check via the following avenues:
- Immunisation details are available in your child’s Red Book
- Call 01874 442 510 (Mon-Fri 11am-4pm)
If your child is not fully vaccinated, and you haven’t already made an appointment with your GP for MMR vaccination you can access one of our drop-in sessions at our vaccination centres during half term.
Available at Newtown, Park Street Vaccination Centre – Thursday 15 February & Friday 16 February, 9.30am - 12.30pm & 1.30pm - 4.30pm
Further information on all vaccines and immunisation can be found on our website.
