Only a short week, but still great to see 4 classes with over 97% attendance. Hedgehogs pipped the others to the post with 98.4%. Woodpeckers were just behind on 97.78% and they could barely be separated from Foxes on 97.70%. Special mention to Grasshoppers who had a great week to with 97.13%.
The weather is expected to get even warmer this week. Please ensure that your child comes to school with suncream, water bottle and a hat. Please put your child's name on the suncream and note that if they want to reapply it, they need to be able to do this themselves.
Next Monday, 5th May, is a Bank Holiday and so the school will be closed. We are open again on Tuesday 6th May.
These are the new term dates for 2025-26. Please note that Year 4s going to Priory will not match these exactly and you should check their website for their dates.
The second half of the summer term is always a busy one. There are a few dates that we invite families to attend and so I have highlighted these in bold. We will always try to keep these dates as advertised, althoug they are subject to change. This is particularly true for sports days which are dependent on the weather.
