Bridport Community Newletter

Welcome Back!
August 17th, 2025
Hello, and Welcome Back, Bridport!
I hope you’ve had a joyful and restful summer filled with special moments. As we prepare to begin a brand-new school year, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to both our returning families and those joining our school community for the very first time.
The start of a new school year is always exciting—a time for fresh opportunities, new friendships, and continued growth. Our teachers and staff have been working hard to prepare classrooms, plan engaging lessons, and ensure our school is ready for your children to learn and thrive.
In this newsletter you'll find:
-Bus Routes
-School Calendar
-New Staff
-and more!
I send out a newsletter each Sunday filled with updates, news to know and some fun photos. Please keep a look out!
I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Jenny
