We hope you’ve had a lovely, well-earned half term break. Though it was short, we had a fabulous Spring 1 and were proud of the children’s hard work and adaptability. This term we will be continuing our ‘countdowns’ and the theme will be ‘Countdown to Easter’. More information will follow about the treat nearer the end of term.

Attendance and punctuality is vital for your child’s education. We encourage your child to strive for high attendance to ensure that they reach their full potential and make the most out of their final year at primary school. After all, we have lots of exciting and immersive activities and experiences planned for them!
