Dear Parents/Carers,


Welcome to the end of another busy week!


Year 6 were wonderful representatives for our school and all of the staff (both Peat Rigg and Kirk Fenton), were blown away by their willingness to have a go, kindness and good humour. They were wonderful company!


This week saw the final rehearsal before the big performance for our Young Voices club. They are in fine voice and I can’t wait to hear all about their concert next week.


Class Dojo is fully up and running and 6/8 classes have 100% sign up from families. If you need any help getting started, please call into the office. I have loved keeping up to date with the children’s learning by reading their class stories. It has given me lots to talk to them about.


Next week, I will be meeting with the governors and the Diocese to start a piece of work on communication of our school Vision and Values. We need to be really clear about what they are as they are the core of our school. Once this work has been done, we will be ensuring parents, children and staff are clear on what they are.


Have a wonderful weekend,


Mel Walmsley

Headteacher
