  • Parent Coffee Morning: Wednesday 29th April

    Published 20/04/26

    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.

  • World Book Day

    Published 05/03/26

    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.

    Published 16/01/26

    We have recently planted a young Mountain Ash tree in our wildlife area, in memory of Tannery Drift teacher Mrs Grainger, who sadly passed away in March 2024.  The Mountain Ash is said to bring balance and harmony whilst also representing guidance and wisdom, which feels like the perfect tribute to a much-missed teacher.  Accompanying the tree is a plaque, in memoriam to Mrs Grainger.
