Dear Parent/carer,

Welcome to another week of fun learning. The national tests finish this week and well done to the children for trying their best throughout.

Don’t forget to book in your time slot for parent evenings which are coming up the week of May 21st. The PTA will be providing teas and coffees while you wait.

Following the success of the Celebrate My Work event we have another planned for Thursday 5th July at 1:30.

This will be a chance for the children to share the work and progress they have made with you.

The summer dates for your diary are now set and are in the date section below.

Thank you for your continued support.
