Dear Parents and Carers,

Our Value of the Week is “Be Optimistic” — a wonderful reminder that a positive mindset can help us achieve amazing things. During assessment season especially, optimism encourages determination, resilience, and the confidence to keep going even when things feel challenging.

With this in mind, I would like to say a huge congratulations to Year 6, who approached assessment week with positivity, perseverance, and optimism shining through every day. We are incredibly proud of the mature and determined attitude they showed throughout the week — well done, Year 6!

As always, school life continues at a wonderfully busy pace, and it is hard to believe that Term 6 — the final term of this academic year — is nearly here. Time certainly flies when you are having fun! There is so much to look forward to next term, including Sports Day, Graduation celebrations, Wellbeing Week, exciting workshops, and even a special theatre performance for the whole school. Every week will bring new opportunities to learn, laugh, perform, compete, and celebrate together.

And speaking of celebrating talents… the Talent Show is fast approaching! Now is the perfect time to start practising, stay optimistic, be brave, and get ready to showcase your amazing skills. We cannot wait to see the creativity and confidence our children bring to the stage.

You will find all of the important Term 6 dates included in this newsletter to help everyone plan ahead for what promises to be a fantastic final term.

Finally, thank you for your continued support with school uniform expectations. Please ensure children are wearing school shoes rather than trainers with their uniform. We would also appreciate a quick check of jumper labels, as many names have faded in the wash and are becoming difficult to identify.

As always, we value positive partnerships between home and school. If you have a concern, please speak to your child’s Class Teacher in the first instance. If you are not happy with the outcome, please then speak to a member of the Senior Leadership Team — myself as Headteacher, Mr Moorcroft (Deputy Headteacher), or Ms Roche (SENDCo). Equally, if you have something wonderful to share, we would love to hear that too! Celebrating successes and sharing positivity helps our whole school community continue to thrive.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and optimism — together we can make the final term of the year the best one yet!

Kind regards,
Mrs Peake
Headteacher
