Merry Christmas
03-01-2025
We want to take this opportunity to wish our whole school community a very merry Christmas.
Thank you for your love and support throughout 2024. It has been an incredible year for Roby Park.
Christmas is not about what is under the tree but who is around it and we can’t wait for the children to return to tell us all about it. Rarely they mention gifts, they mention you. They share their cherished memories of pj days snuggled on the sofa watching movies and eating only chocolate or funny stories of things that happened with their loved ones
Enjoy this special time together, relaxing and making memories and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year

Each display is designed to represent the one in five of us who have a neurodevelopmental condition, such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia or Tourette’s syndrome.
