Message from the Head - 23.07.2021

Is it really the end of the school year? It is hard to believe that the children will be breaking up today for their summer holidays. The school newsletter from the Trust this week shows the amazing learning that has continued to happen despite all of the difficulties we have faced.

A very big thank you to everybody who has supported us this year, we really appreciate it. It has not been easy for the Springbank team, but we have ended the year with a big smile.

Just a few reminders:

• Please ensure your child/children come back to school in uniform. A little reminder that it is white, yellow or green polo tops, black cardigan or jumper and grey or black trousers, skirt or pinafore dress. Summer dresses are yellow or green. P.E. kit is simply black shorts or joggers and a white t-shirt. Those parents/carers wishing to get jumpers with logos on should contact Mrs Roper if they have not got the information already.
• Staggered ‘drop offs’ and collections will still be in place as they are so successful. The ‘meet and greet’ team will be ready to meet you at 8.45am and will remain there until 9.15am when the school gates will close for security. Collections for siblings and car park will be 3.15pm until 3.30pm. Please ensure you don’t arrive in the carpark before 3.10pm.
• I know you like to know the dates of the INSET days as early as possible, so here are the ones for 2021-2022:

Day 1 – August 31^st2021 (Trust INSET)

Day 2 – July 1^st2022 (Trust INSET)

Thursday 28^th July 2022 NO school, as this day has been given to compensate for the extra bank holiday for the Queens Jubilee in the June holiday.

The timings for class collections has been slightly adjusted in some cases:

• School restarts for children on Wednesday 1^st September 2021. We will be open for Keyworkers from 8.00am onwards.

Can I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and restful summer break. Take the time to enjoy being with your family and friends. The staff team will also take the time to rest but we all look forward to seeing you all again in September.

With Warm Wishes as always,

Julie Vaccari
