Good evening, 

I hope you are all. 

Classes for September 2021

We were hoping to have a transition day next week, when the pupils would meet their class teacher. However, this isn’t going to be possible due to the number of people needing to isolate and we don’t want to increase the risk of multiple bubbles needing to isolate in the last week. 

All parents will receive a text message at 4pm on Friday 9th July with the new class teachers name. There will be a letter from their new class teacher and introduction video which will be shared with the pupils before the end of term.

All the staff are really looking forward to next year and we very much hope we won’t have the level of disruption we have had this year. Despite the changes, the children, staff and families have been hugely resilient and everyone has made great progress in all areas. I am really proud of our whole school community and it has been fantastic to see how everyone has supported each other.

Please find an updated uniform list below. I apologise, we missed cardigans off the list. The changes are written in blue.

Parent volunteers to help with the disco would be much appreciated. If you are able to help, please add your details to the survey. 

To enable us to get the food and disco, we are asking for an up to £5 donation towards cost. Please send this into school in an envelope. 

Update on Miss Warburton

Miss Warburton is really sorry that she can’t be in school to help get the year 6 pupils ready for their next steps. Miss Warburton is off for personal reasons and will be back as soon as possible. Mrs Madigan and Mr Skuse are very experienced teachers and are doing a fantastic job. 

Have a lovely afternoon.

A big thank you to Iona , Lucie and Chloe for organising and running the bake sale. They wanted to do this bake sale to raise money and awareness for the charity Compassion, which is part of  our Courageous Advocacy. They raised an amazing £50 for this great cause and this money will help many children like the eight children linked with some of our classes. 

A special thank you to Kizzy, who helped in the mass production of very tasty cakes. 

Mr Woodward and Mrs Mackey

On Monday 21st June 2021, Mrs Skidmore (our school chef), will have her head shaved to raise money and awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support. This is a very brave thing to  do and for a very worthy cause.  

Mrs Skidmore will have her head shaved at 3:45pm on Monday 21st June in the playground. If you want to stay and support, you are very welcome to. We are not asking for money but if you would like to donate money for this worthy cause, please give the donation to the office. 

Well done Mrs Skidmore, this raises money and awareness for a very worthy cause.
