Weekly Update Thursday 17th July 2025
 
Our Vision

We believe that our children should have the aspiration and opportunity to ‘Live life in all its fullness’ and ‘Shine like stars in the sky’.
 
New this week…
 
What an end to the term; we have said goodbye to our lovely year six children and I think the children are ready for a rest after a very busy year.  We also said goodbye to Mrs Martin and we would like to thank you for your generous donations towards Mrs Martins leaving gift.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank parents for all your support over the year and to say well done to the children for all their hard work and for the successes they have achieved this year.

I hope you all have a fun filled (and hopefully sunshine filled) summer.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to school Tuesday 2nd September 2025. Just a reminder, there will also be the opportunity to drop in on the Monday 1st September at 3pm to see your child’s new classroom ready for the start of term. 

Have a lovely holiday!
Mrs Taylor

Children can once again sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge at their local library during the holidays. This year the theme is Story Garden and is all about. firing up imagination through the power of reading and creative expression.

Any child aged 4 to 11 can join in and the challenge runs from Sat 12 July until Sat 6 Sept. Find out more about the challenge here:
