Newsletter - Friday 10th July 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

It was so lovely to see you all yesterday at the sharing afternoon. It was great to see your children’s progress and all their hard work. We are so proud of all they have achieved this year. They should be very proud of themselves, too. Our School Improvement Partner came to school yesterday to observe the children’s learning and was very impressed. She commented on how engaged and enthusiastic the children are about learning, and how they approach tasks with determination and positivity. It was so lovely to hear that. We know your children are amazing, but it is also lovely to hear it from someone else. 

 

The children visited their new classes this week, and they seemed very happy. Change can be hard, and we will support all children with the transition. The teachers are also very excited about their new classes.

 

I can’t believe we only have one week left. Please remember to bring 20ps and any other fundraising, as we will be counting the money next Friday.

 

We look forward to seeing our Year 6 parents and carers on Tuesday for the leavers’ show and garden party. You are in for a treat.

 

Please ensure all reading and library books are returned. We will have to charge for any unreturned books.

 

Thanks for your support during these last few hot days. The children have been brilliant and we have ensured they have stayed as cool as possible.

 

Please come and check the lost property before the end of term, as we will be disposing of any unwanted items.

 

Please ensure your Arbor account is paid so we can renew it for the new academic year.

 

Please remember that we only have clubs next week on Wednesday and Thursday, in place of the days we closed early due to the heat. There are no clubs on Monday, Tuesday, or Friday. We close at 1pm on Friday, and there is no Premier, so we ask that all children be collected on time.

 

I cannot believe next week is the last week of term. Where has the time gone? We will ensure that all the children have the best week.

 

I hope you have a lovely weekend,

Jessica

Headteacher
