  Dear Parents/Carers, Governors and children

   

  What a fantastic first half term of the new academic year, finishing off in style with our PTA Halloween Disco. A big thank you to our brilliant PTA for all their hard work in organising another fantastic event. A big thank you also to our amazing staff who supported the event and to parents/carers and children for the wonderful effort with Halloween costumes.

   

  I hope everyone enjoyed our recent class assemblies. I am so proud of all the children for how brilliantly they performed, showcasing all the amazing work that has been covered over the last eight weeks. I am sure you’ll agree that we have certainly packed a great deal into this time with trips, visitors, awareness days and much more. Thank you once again to all the staff for their dedication to ensuring the best for all our children in school.
