Bentley End of Year Newsletter
As we reach the end of the school year, we would like to thank parents for supporting their children's learning throughout the year; together we make a difference!

We look forward to welcoming you all back to school on Wednesday 6th September. The gates will be open so you can bring your children onto the school site before the bell rings at 8.45am. If you wish to do a quick drop off, staff will be available on the gate and playground from 8.40am to supervise as usual.
Please remember to check out our uniform policy ready for the new school year to ensure you give your child the best start with everything they need. School will be open from Monday 4 th September for any last minute questions.
We will be writing to you before the start of term to notify you of any key information and updates. Weekly blogs from teachers will then begin on Monday 11th September.
We wish you all a lovely summer break and look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday 13th at 6pm for our Parent Welcome Session.
