Happy Holidays! 

As we come to the end of another busy and joyful school year, I would like to wish all our children and families a very happy and restful summer break.

I hope you enjoy this special time together, making memories, spending time outdoors and taking a well-earned rest. Don't forget to have a look at the Summer Activity Passports that were shared with you via ParentMail. They are full of wonderful ideas for making the most of your child's summer, from picnics and nature walks to home-based crafts and games. Every activity has been chosen to be fun, meaningful and either free or low-cost.

As another successful year draws to a close, I would like to thank our entire school community for your continued support, kindness and encouragement throughout the year. The partnership between home and school plays such an important part in helping our children to flourish, and I am truly grateful for all that you do.

I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to every member of staff for the hard work, commitment and joy they bring to our school community each day. Their passion for teaching, their care for every child, and their willingness to go above and beyond are recognised and deeply appreciated. I feel incredibly blessed to work alongside such a talented, dedicated and faith-filled team.

To all our wonderful children: we will miss you over the summer and will be praying for your safety and happiness during the holidays. We look forward to welcoming you back, safe and refreshed, on Tuesday 2nd September at 8:45am, ready for another year of learning, laughter and growing in faith together.

Yours, in Christ, 

Mrs Botham 

 

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28

May your holidays be filled with peace, joy, and God’s gentle presence.

Y6 Leavers

To our Year 6,

As you leave primary school and begin an exciting new chapter, we want you to know how proud we are of everything you have achieved. You have grown in confidence, shown kindness, overcome challenges, and created memories that will stay with you forever.

As you move on to secondary school, remember to believe in yourselves, be brave enough to try new things, and never be afraid to ask questions or make mistakes—they are all part of learning and growing.

Take with you the friendships you've made, the lessons you've learnt, and the confidence to follow your dreams. We know each of you has something special to offer the world, and we can't wait to see all that you accomplish.

Good luck, and remember—you will always be a valued part of our school family.


Keep our children safe!
