  • Culture Day Thursday 21st May 2026

    14th May 2026

    Dear Parents and Carers,   We are excited to be celebrating Cultural Diversity Day at school on Thursday 21st of May and would like to invite all children to take part in this special event. On this day, children are welcome to come to school dressed in clothing that reflects their culture, heritage or nationality. This could include traditional clothing, colours representing their country, or clothing that is meaningful to their family background. Throughout the school, we will also be creating cultural showcase displays to celebrate the wonderful diversity within our community. These displays may include flags, maps, photographs, traditional fabrics, artefacts and interesting facts about different cultures around the world. We would greatly appreciate any contributions families may wish to share to support the displays. If you have any items, photographs or information about your culture that you would be happy for us to display, please send them into school with your child. We are looking forward to a joyful and enriching day where children can learn from and celebrate one another’s cultures and traditions. Thank you for your continued support.
