Good afternoon,

I can’t believe we’re already nearly at the end of my first half term here! We’ve got just one more week left in school before half term, so please keep up the amazing work – you’re all doing a fantastic job.

I just want to say just how incredibly proud we are of each and every one of our Year 6 children. This week, they have worked so hard to complete their assessments and have done so with real resilience, determination to succeed and a fantastic attitude throughout. They approached each day calmly and maturely, supported one another and gave their very best effort, showing us just how much they have grown during their time at our school.

Regardless of outcomes, they should be immensely proud of themselves – we certainly are. You have been an absolute credit to yourselves, your families and our school, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way you have risen to the challenge.

Please find attached the key school dates for the academic year 2025–2026.

While we have planned carefully, some dates may be subject to change.

We wanted to share these with you early so that parents and carers have as much notice as possible.

As always, please continue to monitor your child’s Class Dojo, where any updates or changes will be shared promptly.

Thank you for your continued support.

Please find attached the information regarding taking holidays during the school term. This guidance is provided to school from the Local Authority. We will keep this item on the newsletter as a standing item and as a reminder to all families.

I would like to remind families that if they are choosing to take a holiday during term time that they ensure that they notify school that they are absent with the genuine reason for absence. It is important that we know this for safeguarding matters.

Kind Regards,

Mr M Fletcher

A reminder to all families that children should not ride bikes or scooters anywhere on the school site, including the playground and paths. This is to help keep everyone safe during busy times before and after school.

Children should dismount at the school gates and walk their bike or scooter to the appropriate area.

We would also like to remind parents and carers that any bikes or scooters brought onto school grounds are done so at your own risk. Bikes and scooters left on school property are not the responsibility of the school and we cannot accept liability for loss or damage.

Thank you for your support in keeping our school community safe.

Our school expectation is that pupils will read 5 times per week.

This is monitored by staff in school and at the end of each half term, pupils who have consistently read will be rewarded for their tremendous effort.

If any parents require support getting logged into 'Boom Reader' can access this each Wednesday morning at the start of the school day.

Thanks,

Mrs Roberts
