End of Summer Term Update and Reminders

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we approach the final week of the summer term, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on what a successful year it has been at our school. The Year 6 prom and graduation, nursery graduation, and reception graduation were truly delightful occasions, and we were all enchanted by the wonderful performance of "The Rainbow Fish".

This morning, a group of our children embarked on an exciting three-day residential trip to Hathersage. We hope they have an amazing time filled with new experiences and adventures. Look out for photos this week! Additionally, we have our much-anticipated Skegness family holiday scheduled for this Friday. Please ensure you are in school by 7.30am, ready for departure at 8.00 am. Miss Leonard will be there to meet and greet you.

On the same day, we are also hosting a Water-Fun day with a range of engaging activities planned for the children. Please ensure your child brings a change of clothes and shoes, and a towel to make the most of the fun-filled day ahead.

Looking ahead to September 2024, please note that there will be two INSET Training days on Monday 2nd September and Tuesday 3rd September. School will reopen for all children on Wednesday 4th September as per usual.

A gentle reminder that starting from September, all children are required to be in school uniform. This includes black or grey trousers/skirts/dresses, white, black, green, or yellow polo t-shirts, and a black jumper or cardigan with or without school logo and sensible footwear. To avoid any mix-ups, please ensure that your child's name is clearly labelled on each item of clothing.

Also, PE Kits on a Monday, Thursday and Friday children must wear a plain white T-shirt, black shorts/jogging bottoms and trainers or pumps (Crocs are NOT suitable for PE).

In our continued efforts to promote the love for reading and literacy skills development, we require all children to have a book bag for the upcoming school year. This book bag will enable your child to bring home reading books every day, allowing for extra practice and engagement with reading materials outside of the classroom.

If you do not already have a book bag for your child, please do not worry. You can easily purchase one from any local stationery or school supplies shop or you can buy a plain black one from school. Please contact Mrs Roper for more details.

Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. We look forward to finishing this term strong and welcoming everyone back in September for another exciting academic year.

With Warm Wishes,

Adam Lumley
