Headteacher's Blog 28/04/2017

 Dear Parents and Carers,

Our Y6 will be taking their SATs tests next week and we wish them the very best. They have all worked incredibly hard (and so have the teachers) to get to this point. Many of the children even came in over the holidays to keep their minds actively learning before the term began. This term is a really important one for all children’s progress as they have had all year to learn the new skills that they can now apply. There will be an opportunity for some of you whose children have IEPs (Individual Education Plans) to discuss your child’s needs and progress in the next few weeks. A letter will be sent to you regarding this.

Mr Colin Thompson
