Dear Parents/Carers,
This children have worked superbly well this week. Our school star of the week focus this week has been 'independence' throughout the week children have worked hard to complete tasks independently - using resources and retained knowledge to help them.
Thank you everyone for your continued support as we maintain the excellent start to the academic year - we would not be able to achieve what we do without you.
Enjoy your weekend!
