Dear Parents and Carers

Thank you for taking the time to come into school to meet with your child’s class teacher for Parents’ Evenings this week. We hope that you found the meetings useful and have an understanding of your child’s learning experience. If you have any further concerns or queries, please do contact your child’s class teacher via the email addresses below.

This week we have noticed that some children are wearing trainers instead of their school shoes, I would like to gently remind you that children should be wearing plain black shoes every day. More information about our School Uniform can be found on our website here.

The children had a fantastic time at the Spooky Sparkly disco this week and I would like to take this opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to all of the parents who helped to make the evening such a success. It takes a lot of planning, preparation and hard work to organise school events and we are very grateful for the commitment of SWOYSA.

Yr5 led our Harvest Assembly this morning and they performed exceptionally well! It was a lovely way to end our half term and served as a reminder of the importance of looking after our world and our community, and being kind and charitable to all of those who need a helping hand.

I would like to wish you a happy half-term break and I look forward to seeing you when we return to school on Monday 4^th November 2024.

Kind regards

Hayley Mayers (Headteacher)
