Dear Parents and Carers,
As the academic year draws to a close, we're thrilled to share some highlights and express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this year so memorable. It's been a year packed with learning, laughter, and community spirit!
The warmer weather brought with it some incredibly fun (and refreshing!) activities. The water activities were a huge hit, providing a fantastic way for everyone to cool down and enjoy some playful competition. We saw some truly impressive aim and a lot of happy, soggy children!
We also cherished our winning team picnic, which offered a wonderful opportunity for students and staff to relax, share food, and simply enjoy each other's company outside of the usual classroom setting.
This morning, we dedicated time to a special Gratitude Worship service, focusing on the incredible support we've received from local businesses. We want to extend our sincerest thanks to all the community partners who have helped and supported us throughout the year. Your generosity, resources, and unwavering commitment have been invaluable and have made a real difference to our students' experiences. We are so fortunate to be part of such a supportive community!
Our Year 5 and 6 students truly shone in their end-of-year production! Their hard work, talent, and dedication resulted in a spectacular show that entertained and impressed us all. We're incredibly proud of their achievements.
The traditional Leaver's Service at St. Mary's Church this afternoon was a poignant and beautiful occasion, marking the end of an important chapter for our Year 6 students. It was a time for reflection, appreciation, and well wishes as they prepare for their next adventures. We wish them all the very best and look forward to hearing about their successes from our high school colleagues.
It was an absolute pleasure to welcome back two familiar faces this year! Elliot and Isla, former students, spent some time with us undertaking work experience. It was wonderful to see how much they've grown and developed, and to have their energy and enthusiasm back in the school halls. We loved having them as part of our team again, and they provided invaluable support and inspiration.
While we're celebrating a bustling and successful year, we also feel a touch of sadness as we say goodbye to some of our beloved staff members. We extend our heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Mr. Priory, Miss Jones, and Mrs. Mayhew. You have all made such a significant impact on our school community, and you will be greatly missed. We wish you all the very best in your new adventures!
As we look forward to a restful summer break, we extend our best wishes to all our students and their families. We can't wait to see what the next academic year brings!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mel Walmsley
