Please note that any child who leaves the school to go home at lunch time will leave the building via the main door and gate so that playground gates remain locked for security purposes. Many thanks for your co-operation in this regard.

Reports
I have had the great pleasure over the last two weeks of reading the wonderful reports that have been written about your children. They clearly identified your child’s successes this year, their involvement in the community life of the school and outlined their increasing skills, knowledge and talents. Well done boys and girls! We aim to have all reports issued on Friday, possibly sooner, and will include notification of your child’s class and teacher for next session
Celebrating Success
Today at our Wednesday afternoon assembly we celebrated the accomplishments of our fabulous boys and girls. Pupils received pupil of the week awards and good citizen awards. I was in the process of uploading a photograph of today’s recipients when I realised that quite a few pictures have not been posted and this included pictures of pupils who have achieved success out of school. Apologies children here you are!

Summer Fair
Saturday was a fabulous day that saw the school community come together for our annual summer fair. It was great to see our Summer Fair take place in brilliant sunshine with everyone enjoying themselves. Our fabulous PTA really did us proud and raised the astonishing sum of £1,850 for PTA funds. That was an amazing sum and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the PTA, to school staff and to all the parents, grandparents and children who came along to support the school.
