Weekly News Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been a busy Easter holiday, with a fantastic holiday club and lots of exciting work happening across the school.

We are pleased to share that acoustic panels have been fitted in both the hall and the hub. These improvements will support our children’s sensory needs and help make their experiences more comfortable and enjoyable.

The paddock is also looking wonderful following the installation of new turf—it really does look stunning. Thank you so much for your kind plant donations; they are greatly appreciated. Please do continue sending them in, as we still have plenty of pots to fill.

We are very excited that swimming will be starting again next week. We are incredibly fortunate to have our very own swimming pool. If you are able to, please consider making the donation—no matter how big or small—to support the running costs of the pool. As you can imagine, the energy and water costs are significant, and your support makes a real difference.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Kerry Devane (Headteacher)
