A word from the Principal...
Welcome,
Having just walked around the school, it has been lovely to see so many smiling children engaged
with their learning all dressed in a range of spots, stripes and bright colours, it really does feel like
we are returning to normal school life.
This week, we have completed a survey on attendance at after school clubs (Y1-6). It has been wonderful
to return to a full range of clubs this term and this is clearly a feeling shared by our children as
over 80% attend at least one club a week and almost 50% attend more than one! These figures are
fantastic and show that children are really enjoying our extra-curricular provision. Research suggests
that children who attend extra-curricular provision also achieve better in school, so if your child
hasn’t signed up to a club yet, see if you can encourage them.
We will be holding Parents’ Evenings over the coming weeks so please look out for a letter coming
home with your child where you can state your preferences for days and times. We are running
these a little later this year, so we are able to provide you with a fuller picture of how your child has
settled in to their new year group and it will be a great opportunity for you to ask any questions
you may have. As last time, we are aware that for some families, remote appointments are more
convenient whilst others prefer face-to-face meetings so we are offering you the choice. The more
flexible you can be with your available times, the more likely we are to be able to meet everyone’s
preferences. As always, we will do what we can to ensure siblings’ appointments are close together
for your convenience.
Kind regards,
Mr Adam Anderson
Principal
