Dear Parents and Carers, 

It was lovely to welcome everyone back for the Summer term last week. The children have returned relaxed, refreshed and ready to learn. All the staff have been impressed with the children’s attitudes to learning on the first days back.  

This week the football teams are attending local football tournaments. We have a year 4 team, a year 5/6 boys and a girls’ team playing in competitions against other local schools.

Class attendances for last term (highest to lowest):

• Year 1 - 99.3%

• Year 4 - 97.9%

• Year 3 - 95.7%

• Year 2 - 94.3%

• Year 6 - 93.3%

• Year 5 - 92.3%

Home broadband is increasingly essential for supporting learning. Households receiving benefits such as Universal Credit could be eligible for discounted social tariffs, helping them stay connected at lower costs. For more information, please visit Ofcom’s website.

Thorn Fest is only a few weeks away. If you are able to help in any way whether that be setting up, manning a stall or packing away then please let us know.

Every extra pair of hands is a big help. By helping out on the day you are not committing to anything else!
