HEADTEACHER’S NEWSLETTER

I would love to know whether there is a scientific reason why there is so often a heavy rain shower at drop off and pick up times when the rest of the day does not involve quite such bad weather! Thank you for tolerating such awful conditions this week and dropping your children off and collecting them on time regardless. 

As you can see from the diary dates, December is fast approaching and there are many Christmas events where our wider school community can gather together to celebrate/shop/sing etc. Preparations have been underway for a few weeks now and we are looking forward to seeing you and sharing these special moments with you over the next few weeks. Please note in particular the date of the Pre-school Christmas event which has been added to the list since last week.

Mrs Christine Richards

Can you help?

If any parents have time to come into school perhaps one afternoon a week to hear children read or read to our younger pupils, please do let us know. We would love to have at least one parent helping in this way in each class (usually not a class your own children are in). Mrs Passenger will be happy to give you some tips and ideas about how to read with children effectively before you start which will then be handy when you read with your own children at home.

Sadly…

We are very sad to share the news that Mrs Locker will be leaving us at the end of this term. Over the last few years, she has provided highly skilled and personalised 1:1 support as well as contributing with enthusiasm and positivity to every aspect of school life including events out of school time. Unfortunately, she has moved too far away from school to continue to commute to work with us. We wish her all the success and happiness possible in her new role as an ASD specialist teacher.
