Halloween 2020
|
In Alderton we’ve always had a lovely Halloween tradition of putting out the pumpkins to show you’re open for trick or treating. But this year it doesn’t seem the right time to encourage lots of people to visit each other homes and there doesn’t seem much support for answering the door to visitors. Rather than disappoint the children though we thought the village would like to support Alderton Acorns Sponsored Pumpkin Trail.
This way we get to decorate our houses and the children get to go out pumpkin spotting. Parents you’ll need to supply the sweets for your kids and hopefully we’ll be back to normal next year. https://www.facebook.com/.../a.76632474.../3413043952084717/ |

Oak Hill CofE Primary School Alderton and Dumbleton
|
Whilst Oakhill CofE Primary School has an enviable pupil to teacher ratio, we have some small class sizes in Reception and Years 2 and 5. This impacts the government funding for the school, so we're keen to invite more pupils to join our Alderton and Dumbleton bases respectively. If you want to find out more, please contact the school on 01242 620448
