Thank you!
As we come to the close of a wonderfully busy Autumn Term, I would like to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to our whole school community.
I want to begin by thanking our wonderful children. They have worked hard, shown enthusiasm, and embraced every opportunity. We are incredibly proud of all their achievements, big and small, and it has been a joy to see them grow and learn throughout the term.
A huge thank you also goes to our dedicated staff and PTA, their passion and care for each child has been evident in everything they do and has made such a positive difference in the lives of our children, I am so grateful for their continued dedication and resilience.
Finally, I would like to say thank you to yourselves as parents and carers. Your involvement in school life, whether through helping with events, supporting your child’s learning, or simply staying engaged with the school community, has been invaluable. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community.
As we look ahead to the festive season, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to welcoming the children back on Monday, 6th January, for the start of the Spring term.

Attendance Matters
The United Nation Article 28 states ‘every child has the right to have a primary education’. We are linking our attendance performance to this article.
We want our children to have the best possible education to give them the best chance in life. If your children aren’t in school we can’t give them this opportunity and can’t give them the opportunity to ‘be the best they can be.’

Online Safety-Channel 4 Documentary – Swiped
This week Channel 4 aired a documentary called Swiped about a school that banned Smartphones. The documentary contained a lot of informative, and frightening, facts about young children using smartphones and how it can affect their mental health. We would strongly encourage you to watch on Channel 4’s On Demand service at the this link. and seriously consider your child’s use of their phone and if they really need it at such a young age.
(Please note – there is some upsetting content in the documentary so it is not advised for the children to watch it)
