Our Family Support Worker, Ms Kerr, would like to invite parents to a coffee morning on Wednesday 29th April from 8.50-10am.
This informal session will take place in our new building (next to the tennis courts), and allows for an opportunity to relax with a hot drink, chat to other Tannery Drift parents as well as our Ms Kerr. Tea/coffee, biscuits and mindful colouring sheets will be provided, and feel free to bring a project such as knitting, if you want some well-deserved me-time. Babies and toddlers are welcome to attend.
It would be great if you can send an email to admin@tannerydrift.herts.sch.uk if you would like to come, so we can gauge numbers, however walk-ins on the day are also extremely welcome.
Exciting news! This year’s Royston in Blue event is on Sunday 28th June 2026. The 5km fun run / walk is a wonderful family event to take part in, to raise funds for The Teenage Cancer Trust. It will be held at the Therfield Heath in Royston at 11am.
Last year the community of Royston and surrounding villages made over £20 000 for The Teenage Cancer Trust.
Lots of Tannery families took part last year, and Mrs Greetham had a lovely morning cheering them all on. If you would like to take part you can sign up here: http://racebest.com/races/7z2xa
On Tuesday 17th March 12 pupils from year 2 took part in a Tag Rugby Festival at St Edmunds Prep School.
The Tannery Drift teams demonstrated exceptional teamwork, determination, and resilience, and their commitment paid off, as they went on to win all of their group stage matches and secure places in the finals.
Following some nail-biting final matches, we're delighted to say that both Tannery Drift teams were crowned the winners of the day, and received gold medals. Well done to everyone who took part!

Parent helpers: Thank you to everyone who has already offered to help at the event - details will follow nearer the time. But we do still need a few more helpers, particularly for Early Years, to enable the discos to happen! Early Years children will need to be accompanied by an adult at their disco, so please let us know if you can help whilst you are there. With plenty of helpers there will be flexibility to still provide support for your child at the event as needed.
The Years 1-4 disco is a drop off event, so please consider signing up to help if you would like to attend.
Please email us at friendsoftannerydriftschool@gmail.com with your availability. Thank you!
Today, pupils and staff came to school dressed in their pyjamas ready for a bedtime-story themed World Book Day!
Everyone has enjoyed a wonderful day of storybook fun, complete with ‘bedtime’ hot chocolate. In the afternoon, teachers swapped classes to share books with pupils in other year groups and it was lovely to see how engaged the children were in the stories.
As always, World Book Day has been a fantastic event which has inspired the children’s imaginations, and filled their minds with stories, characters and new worlds to explore.
Ahead of Pancake Day on Tuesday, Reception have been having pancake races supported by their Year 4 buddies!
