Andoversford Primary School

Dear Parents and Carers, 

We are delighted to annouce that this year we have managed to gain an incredible 6,500 ASPIRE points.  To celebrate this fantastic achievement, we have organised for the whole school to go to… a mystery location! The children would like to build the suspense and keep the information a surprise. The trip will be taking place on Wednesday 15th July.

The school have subsidised the cost of the travel of this visit to ensure that it is affordable to everybody. We are asking for a voluntary contribution of £8.50 per child to help towards the cost of the activity. Your child will not be denied a place if you decline to make a voluntary contribution. Payment should be online via ParentPay. Please make your voluntary contribution or let us know if you do not wish to contribute by Monday 29th June 2026.

Please see the attached letter for more details of the trip. And remember, for now please keep this information a surprise! 

Thank you for your support.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please find attached an important letter from The Governing Board of Andoversford Primary School. 

We wanted to take the time to pass on a recommendation. 

Mark from Secure Locksmiths visited our lovely school. He was friendly, helpful and efficient - so much so that we wanted to pass his details on to our parent community. 

If you require a locksmith please see the link to Mark's website below and his details attached.
