26th June 2026

Dear Parents / Carers,

Thank you so much for your understanding and support throughout this week's exceptionally hot weather. We have been incredibly grateful for your cooperation.

The children have been absolutely fantastic. They have shown great resilience, adapted brilliantly to the changing routines, and taken everything in their stride. On Monday, I spoke to all of the children about the importance of staying safe in the sun, and it has been wonderful to hear them proudly telling me when they have finished their water bottles and reminding one another to keep hydrated.

I would also like to thank our dedicated staff team, who have worked tirelessly to keep the children as cool, comfortable, and safe as possible during the extreme temperatures. It certainly hasn't been an easy week, but their care and commitment have been exceptional.

End of Year Disco

We will be having end of Year disco’s in July to have a fun end to the year. We will be holding the discos:

Reception 1^st July 2026

Year 1 and 2 8^th July 2026

The children can come dressed in their disco clothes that day and it will run from 3.30pm-4.30pm

It will be £5 a ticket and the children will receive a drink and a light snack.

You can purchase the tickets from the school office paying cash or card.

We would like some parent volunteers to help at the discos. If you are able to help please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Ice Poles and Ice Cream For Sale

To continue to raise some funds for our school the student council have had the idea of selling ice poles and ice cream.

So, with the sunny weather upon us we will be selling ice poles/ice creams every Friday after school, in the KS1 playground. £1 an ice pole and £2 an ice-cream. Thank you for your contributions.

If there are any parents who are willing to come and help sell the ice creams it would be greatly appreciated as I am unable to supervise the gate and sell ice creams at the same time. If you are able to help please let me know, thank you.

Art Day

We are pleased to let you know that on Monday 6th July the children will be taking part in a special Art Day at school.

Throughout the day, each class will enjoy an art lesson led by an experienced art specialist who has many years of teaching experience and is also a talented local artist. The sessions have been carefully planned to inspire the children and provide them with the opportunity to explore a range of artistic techniques and ideas.

These workshops are sure to enhance and consolidate the children's creativity, imagination and artistic skills, whilst encouraging them to express themselves with confidence. We hope the children will enjoy learning from a practising artist and gain a deeper appreciation of the creative process.

We are very much looking forward to this exciting day and to seeing the wonderful artwork that the children produce.

Thank you for your continued support.
