School Newsletter

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope this message finds you well. As we reach the end of another busy week, I am delighted to share with you some of the highlights and updates from across our school community. Each week brings new achievements, opportunities, and moments of pride, and it is always a pleasure to celebrate these with you.

I am continually inspired by the enthusiasm, kindness, and resilience our children show, and I know that much of this is nurtured by the support they receive at home.

We need your help to share our expectations about the importance of punctuality and attendance with our children and young people. Our lunchtime and break have been extended to provide more time for extra curricular clubs and to eat food at break and lunch. We have also added a ‘ready’ bell. This bell sounds 5 minutes before the start of registration, break, and lunch and is the signal to move to lessons. Everyone should be in class, seated and ready to learn by 8.30am, 11.15am and 1pm every day. All our toilets are open through breaks to ensure that everyone has time to visit the toilet and be on time to lessons.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership in helping us provide the very best for every child.
