Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been another busy and positive week across the school, with the children continuing to work incredibly hard and enjoy their learning.

Next week is SATs week for our Year 6 pupils. We would like to wish all of our children the very best of luck as they complete their tests. We are incredibly proud of how hard they have worked and the resilience and determination they have shown throughout the year.

Whilst SATs are important, we also want our children to know that they are valued for so much more than test results. Their kindness, creativity, character, effort and the way they support one another are just as important to us. We are proud of every single one of them already, and next week is simply an opportunity for them to show some of what they have learned during their time at primary school.

 This week we also announced the winners of our Easter Egg competition. Thank you so much to everyone who entered — the standard was incredibly high and it was lovely to see so much creativity and effort from the children.

Preparations are already well underway for our Summer Fayre on Friday 26th June. If you are a local business owner, or would be interested in running a stall, please do get in touch with Mrs Scott, who is leading on the organisation of the event. We would love as much community involvement as possible.

We are also continuing to develop our Nature Nook area, which the children are really enjoying. We are currently exploring plans to build a pond as part of this development, alongside creating further opportunities for outdoor learning and exploration.

At this time of year, we also begin to look ahead to transition. We are really looking forward to welcoming our new Year R pupils who will be joining us in September 2027, and transition events for these children will begin soon. Equally, preparations are beginning for our Year 2 to Year 3 transition work, alongside wider whole-school transition arrangements. Further information regarding transition events and staffing will be shared with families as soon as plans are fully confirmed.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Have a lovely weekend and take care.
