Olton Primary Book Fair 2025 - 1st & 2nd December 2025
Dear Parents/Carers,
We will be running another in-house book fair on Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd December. We will be selling quality books at amazing, discounted prices as well as lots of stationery on offer for the children. During the day, children will be able to come with their classmates to visit the fair and make any purchases. If you would like your child to make a purchase at the fair during the day, please send your child in with money in a named envelope or purse. Our stock ranges from 50p to £4. The book fair will also be open after school on Tuesday 2nd December in the small hall from 3:15-4pm. There will be members of staff nearby to direct you. We are a cash-only book fair, so please try to bring along exact cash if possible.

Reading Loungewear (Non-Uniform) Day - 21st November 2025
Dear Parents/Carers,
Olton Primary are hosting a day which is dedicated to the enjoyment of reading and will have off-curriculum sessions throughout the afternoon to focus on Reading for Pleasure. As part of this, we will be having a 'loungewear day' where children can come into school in comfy, loungewear clothing (no pyjamas please).
Please can we make sure the children are dressed in sensible clothing that will meet the requirements of the school, bearing in mind weather conditions and suitable footwear for both indoors and outdoors. We are asking for a £1 donation for this non-uniform day via Parentpay and the funds will go towards funding new reading resources for the school libraries (Infants and Juniors).
