Happy half term
It has been a rather different half term for us all, but I am very proud of the way that everyone has pulled together to provide the best for our children.
The staff have worked tirelessly to ensure the best provision for all of our children and the children have risen to new challenges. I really appreciate how challenging this situation has been for our parents, we know that you are doing a fantastic job!
We are all very excited about our upcoming World Book Day Celebrations and our virtual author visits. They will be excellent role models for all our children. I am already planning future visits from a wide range of authors.
I hope you have a lovely half term and would like to thank you for your continued support

Merry Christmas
As this is the final day of our first term, I wanted to take the time to write to you to thank you for your support to ensure our children’s autumn term has been such a success. From adhering to the new procedures, engaging in home learning and all of your positive feedback, we could not have been so successful without your support.
It has been wonderful to be able to share some of our Christmas celebrations with our children and it was a pleasure to see their faces light up when Father Christmas came to call.
The staff team have all worked tirelessly, embraced new challenges and ensured that the children are at the centre of everything we do. I want to thank them for all of their hard work this term
I hope you have a lovely break and a Merry Christmas. I am sure we are all hoping for a more positive 2021.

Welcome Back
The children have all settled quickly back into school and as I walked around school yesterday it was wonderful to see them all highly engaged in their learning. I have also been equally impressed with our Year 3 children and the staff who are engaging with their Google Classroom and Virtual teaching. I am very proud of them all. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents for their support by wearing a mask at drop off and pick up. Again, we are trying our best to ensure that our school remains open during this difficult time. We greatly appreciate all of our families support by following the guidance both in school and outside. We appreciate at times this can be challenging. Thank you for your continued support.
