Dear Parents/Carers,

As we come to the end of my third half term at Kirk Fenton, it is hard to believe we are halfway through the year!

On Wednesday, some of our staff completed their First Aid training with Helen Smith from Jigsaws. I would recommend her if you need training for your workplace. She was very knowledgeable, organised and engaging.

On Thursday evening, Friends of Kirk Fenton met to appoint a new committee. This was a successful evening and they already have plans to meet to discuss their fundraising ideas. More information about the appointments will follow after half term. A big thank you to all former members for their hard work and support.

Finally, I wish you a wonderful half term. I hope it brings you everything you need.

Best wishes,

Mel Walmsley

Headteacher
