Dear All

Well done for surviving another week!

It was lovely to see lots of you in our assembly again this week, thank you for joining us. Apologies for the technology; perseverance paid off in the end.

We have attached an important update to our website today detailing the end of term arrangements for all children, including those in Years 2, 3, 4 and 5. Our Governing Board are keen to ensure all children have a chance to reconnect, if only briefly, with peers and teachers before the summer holidays. Click here to access this information.

As you will see in the letter we are planning to close school for the final three days of the term, Monday 20th July until Wednesday 22nd July. We have not taken this decision lightly but feel it essential to allow us to meet the needs of our whole school community. This mean the last day of term for most children will be Thursday 16th July as we will be holding our Leavers celebration with Year 6 and their parents on the Friday. We have tried to give you as much notice as possible but if anyone has any real challenges with this arrangement I would encourage you to contact the school to discuss it further. We thank you for your support once again at this challenging time.

We have been asked to share the following:

In order to help parents with ideas to keep their kids entertained at home, and to support home learning, I have put together a special ‘at home’ digital edition of the magazine (link below) which is full of clickable content that I hope they will find useful as well as supporting some of our local businesses at this tricky time.

Wishing you all a safe and happy weekend.
