End of Year Message from the Headteacher

As we come to the end of another school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on what a wonderful year it has been. Our children have made fantastic progress and achieved so much, academically, socially, and personally. It has been a joy to see their growth and development each day.

Throughout the year, we have shared many exciting and enjoyable events, from creative arts and sports days to enriching trips and themed weeks. To see the children so engaged and enthusiastic is a delight.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our families for your continued support. Your partnership makes a real difference, and we are so grateful for the role you play in our school community.

Our very best wishes go to our Year 4 class who will be moving onto to their next school. We hope they can build on the foundations they have set at first school to continue to thrive and flourish.

Wishing you all a restful, fun-filled holiday together as a family. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting academic year ahead.

Thank You PTFA

Thank you to our PTFA for all their efforts led superbly by Mrs Sparkes. This year they have raised an incredible £5410 which will enable us to purchase another two interactive whiteboards and we hope these will be installed over the summer holiday.

Thank You Parents

The staff would like to thank you for all the lovely gifts they have received from the children.
