Message from the Headteacher 

 Dear Parents/Carers, 

The bit of sunshine that we have had this week has reminded us of the promise of Summer around the corner. 

Please look out for parent sign up sheets for parent consultations. This is a really important opportunity for you to meet with your child's teacher and find out about their social and academic achievements. Teachers will also give you ideas on how to support your child at home. 

All Teacher-led after school clubs are cancelled next week due to parents' evenings. (Multi-sports, Bubble Club and Rockin' Robins will run as usual).

A few parents have asked about swimming this Summer. We are planning to swim after the next half term. Unfortunately, rising energy and staff costs, as well as the building needing some substantial work to the roof, means that we won't be swimming for as many weeks this year. 

Have a restful weekend.

Thank you for your support, 

Kerry Devane
