This week's letter from Mrs Mayers...

Dear Parents and Carers

This week has whizzed by! The children have been busy with their learning and it has been great to see that they have all been enjoying their new class topics. Please look out for a letter from your child's class teacher today. This letter details key information about your child's learning this term and any key dates for trips and visits coming up this term. These letters can also be found by clicking here.

This morning we had our second successful PINS Coffee Morning for parents and carers of children with SEND. It was good to see a number of families attending so 'thank you' to everyone who joined us! We will continue to plan opportunities for this Parents' Forum to meet and share their experiences. 

We have also planned parent workshops for Reading and Maths. The EYFS & KS1 workshops will take place this term and the dates are included below. We will organise KS2 workshops for the summer term and we will let you know these dates as soon as possible. To find out more about what events are coming up, please visit the calendar on our website. 

Our Credit Union Junior Savings Club will be continuing this term with the next opportunity being on Tuesday 21st January 2025. Going forward, this will take place in the school hall from 8:30am; so do pop in to find out more if you are interested.

Kind regards 

Hayley Mayers (Headteacher)
