Dear Parents/Carers,

This week the Year 6 cohort have completed their SATS assessments and as their Headteacher, I couldn’t be more proud of them all. They have worked extremely hard showing dedication to their lessons all year and the outstanding progress they have made was evident in their application this week. I would like to thank all staff who accommodated the changes to our timetable this week and gave up their time to stay on a Monday evening to support with the boosters. I would also like to extend this thank you to both Mr Reynolds and Mrs Smith who have taught the pupils exceptionally well all year, guiding, supporting and preparing the pupils to achieve their best. Each and every pupil showed resilience and maturity in abundance, and I know that this mindset will support them to tackle all assessments with similar motivation and confidence in the future.

To celebrate the end of their assessments, the Year 6s had an amazing day today! They collectively decided to have a water fight on the school field and enjoyed a Pizza take- out. Thank you to Ms Spink, one of the Year 6 parents, who very kindly brought in ice lollies and drinks for everyone.
