Weekly News Update

Dear all, 

Thank you so much for your support at the Summer Fete. It was a wonderful event, and it was lovely to see so many families come together and enjoy the day.

A huge thank you to our PTA and staff team, who went above and beyond to make the event such a success. Your hard work, enthusiasm, and support are greatly appreciated.

The final half-term of the school year is always a busy one, with lots of exciting events and activities taking place. Please keep an eye on upcoming dates to ensure you don't miss anything.

To help you stay informed, we have created a School Community Calendar, giving you quick and easy access to all school events and key dates at your fingertips.

We are also beginning to think about transition and supporting the children as they move into their next year groups. With this in mind, we will be sending out a letter on Monday sharing children's classes for next year, ahead of the transition visits.

Children will have the opportunity to visit their new classes each week leading up to Transition Day on 2nd July. These visits are designed to help children become familiar with their new learning environment and ensure they feel confident and excited about the year ahead.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Kerry Devane (Headteacher)
