Dear Parents/Carers,

We would like to extend our thanks to each of you for attending our recent Inspire Sessions and Phonics Morning. Your participation and enthusiasm truly made these events special, and we appreciate the time you took out of your busy schedules to be with us.

The Inspire Sessions provided a fantastic opportunity to collaborate, share insights, and discuss the wonderful progress our children are making. It’s always a pleasure to see so many grownups actively engaging with the school and supporting our efforts to enhance your child’s learning experience.

Our Phonics Morning in Reception was equally enjoyable, and we hope you found the activities and tips useful in supporting your child’s reading journey at home. Phonics play a key role in early literacy, and your involvement in reinforcing these skills is invaluable to their success.

We are so grateful for the strong partnership we share with you in nurturing your child’s growth. Your continued support helps us create a positive and enriching learning environment.

Thank you once again for being part of these events. We look forward to sharing the festive fun with you over the next few weeks.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs Winter

Headteacher

The Kindness certificates are awarded to children who have shown kindness and a caring attitude throughout the week. Children are chosen by the Student Council. Well done!
