Good morning, everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend.

Please remember that the school photographer will be in St Bartholomew’s tomorrow. He will take individual photographs of all children in the school (including the nursery) as well as group portraits of siblings. Please can you ensure that your child is in full school uniform tomorrow and that they practise their best smiles in front of the mirror as part of their homework tonight! Thank you.

Excellent progress is being made on the fitting of our new blinds. The entire upper school and offices are now complete and the contractor made a start on the infant classrooms on Friday. I’m also delighted to inform you (especially now that the autumn weather seems to have arrived with a vengeance!) that work on our new heating system is only a week away from being completed.
