Headteacher - Mr J Ayre

Assistant Headteacher - Mrs S Humphreys

Associate Assistant Headteacher - Miss L Brook

Dear Parents & Carers,

We have reached the end of the half term and are rewarded with a very well earned rest break for all.

The half term has been a highly successful one with the highlight being the way our Year 6 pupils have conducted themselves during this years SATs week. I for one have been overwhelmed at the level of maturity from within the Year 6 group, along with the support we have received from our wider community which has ensured every pupil has performed to their best.

This really is a special group of children and they deserve a huge amount of credit for not only this important week but also their journey to date throughout school.

As many of you will have seen my replacement is now being advertised for and I would like to reassure you that every step will be taken to ensure the successful candidate will be carefully chosen. In terms of within the building, it is business as usual, as we aim to continue to provide our pupils with the best education and experiences possible!

Have a lovely half term break everyone and for those travelling down to Wembley this weekend, GOOD LUCK to Leeds!

Best Regards,

Mr Ayre

The focus for each Headteacher Award throughout the year will be our new school values! The school values are an integral part of what we stand for at Carleton Park and are values that we believe will ensure our children are successful in not just their educational journey but life in general.

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!

All events are communicated here as soon as they are confirmed
