The weekly blog - keeping you up-to-date with school life; Stars of the Week; Housepoint winners and much more..
Fri 21 Jul 2023Welcome to the final Blog of the school year. I cannot believe we have made it to the end - well Monday to go, but the last full week.
Thank you for all your support this year and I am sure I can pass on your thanks to our wonderful teachers and support staff for all they have done this year, particularly through the turbulent times of the national strikes. Being able to stay open and provide quality education throughout has been shown with how much the children have learnt and remembered.
If I do not see you by the close of play Monday, have a super summer and some much-needed quality family time.

Enjoy the break. Remember, if children can keep up with doing some Doodle and Reading over the summer, that would be wonderful and really help them prepare for the new term on Friday 1st September 2023. The topic is Holywood and there will be an email coming out from their teacher about what they can wear.
Keep smiling

Fri 14 Jul 2023I hope you have had a great week. It has been extremely busy in school this week with the Y6 end-of-year show, class assemblies, end-of-year trips, Infant Voice Festival, and the music festival where pupils showed us what they had been learning all year in their music lessons.
