Message from the Headteacher 

 Dear Parents/Carers, 

We had a fantastic time at the Seaside this week. The children enjoyed paddling on the shore, building sandcastles, building pebble towers and foraging for natural objects. The children's behaviour was outstanding. I felt so proud to be their Headteacher. Several members of the public commented on how wonderful the children were. 

We have our Summer Fair in the first week back. Please look out for any unwanted unused/new items at home that we could use for our tombola. Raffle tickets are on sale now with Godney Gathering tickets as the first prize. If you know a business or run a business that could donate a raffle prize, we would be very grateful. All the money raised will go towards developing our outdoor learning spaces. There is still time to have a stall, we only ask for a small donation of £5.

Have a fantastic half term. Enjoy the break. 

Thank you for your support, 

Kerry Devane 

Farewell Miss Tudor 

We would like to take this opportunity to say farewell and good luck to Miss Tudor, one of our Support staff. Miss Tudor has been with us for many years and touched the lives of many of our children and their families, with her dedication and passion for making a difference to the outcomes for our children. She is also a keen gardener, teaching children how to care for plants around the school and has developed our sensory room over the years. She will be missed. We hope she gets to enjoy the sunshine in her own garden and wish her the best of luck in her new job.
