Horbury Bridge CE J&I Academy

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. It’s been fantastic to see everyone back in school this week, and we’ve had a brilliant start to the term. The pupils have come back with great enthusiasm, and it’s lovely to see their smiles and energy around school.

This week’s snowy and icy weather has brought its challenges, but I’d like to thank you for bearing with us and taking extra care during drop-off and pick-up times. The pupils have managed so well—they truly are a credit to our school community.

Introducing Kinetic Letters

We’re excited to share that we’ve introduced a new handwriting programme called Kinetic Letters. This is a fantastic scheme that focuses on developing handwriting skills in a fun and engaging way. Mr Butcher will be sending home an information pack soon to give you more details, but if your child has already started talking about Kinetic Letters, now you know what they’re referring to!

A More User-Friendly Website

We’ve recently reorganised the school website to make it more accessible and easier to navigate. It's full of key information, including term dates, newsletters, curriculum details, and services and support for families. Please take a moment to browse!

Have a wonderful weekend, and let’s look forward to a fantastic term filled with learning, growth, and exciting opportunities for all our pupils. Thank you for your continued support in making our school such a special place.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mr Tuddenham
