9^th February 2018

Firstly, don’t forget we break up for half term today! We’re back in on Monday 19^th February.

I know, I can’t believe it either – another holiday! This one has come round quickly hasn’t it? However, even though it’s been a short half term, it’s been so busy in school. The children have been working really, really hard and this was great to see when the senior leadership team went in to classrooms yesterday. We were looking for ‘good stuff’ and we saw loads of it! Best of all was the fantastic attitudes towards learning. From Reception to Year 6, children and staff were buzzing about their learning.

You will have all received your child’s mid-year report yesterday in the A4 brown envelope. Please remember to bring it to parents evening in March. If there is something you wish to discuss before that date with the class teacher or Mrs Garry, the Attendance Officer, please call the school office to make an appointment.

Dates coming up in the next half term – there’s quite a few new events!
