Headteacher's Blog 12/09/2017

 Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back from the summer holidays.

The term has got off to a great start with our Year 3's settling in really well and our Year 6 setting to their learning so early on. As you will be aware Year 4 and 5 are being mixed in the afternoons and we are impressed with how quickly they are moving between classes and settling down. We recognise that it will take some time to get used to but are confident that they will all settle into a routine soon.

We wanted to give all new parents(and any other who would like to come) an opportunity to ask any questions or simply to meet Mrs Ogden (our parent link teacher) and myself early on this term. This is on Wednesday 20th September at 2.30pm in the school hall for half an hour or so.

Mr Colin Thompson
