Weekly Newsletter: Friday 10th February


Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls 

Dear Parents and Carers,


It seems only two minutes since I was wishing you all a happy Christmas break. The short term went quickly but the teachers and children have achieved a lot in the limited time.

The school is closed on Monday 20th February for staff training and on Tuesday 21st February we look forward to welcoming all pupils back to school when we will get started with our learning straight away from day one. Remember the pupils number one job of coming to school everyday on time so that everyone can enjoy the exciting learning opportunities on offer!

Parents Evening
Thank you to all parents who attended parents evening this week. We hope that you enjoyed the opportunity to meet with your child’s class teacher to discuss their learning journey. It has been wonderful to see so many parents in school this half term attending the stay & learn sessions. We hope that you have found these sessions valuable. If you didn’t get the chance to complete the feedback form at the stay & learn session or during parents evening, please can we ask that you take a few moments to complete the attached form. We would very much appreciate your feedback.
