Barton's annual Christmas Market took place today.  The children have made products ranging from edible goodies to Christmas decorations to sell at the market. The children had a lovely time going around with friends and buying presents to take home.  Any profits the children have made will be for them to decide how to spend this year.   

The children had a fantastic time at the Canterbury Marlowe Theatre Pantomime today! We even had some of our pupils chosen to participate in the show!  

We had a truly SPOTACULAR day at Barton today whilst raising money for Children In Need. Thank you to anyone who donated to this worthwhile cause.
