Dear Parents and Carers,

As we wrap up this festive season, I want to take a moment to express thanks to everyone in our school community for their support and generosity over the past year.

Your kindness and dedication have made this Christmas time extra special for our children. Whether it was through donations for our Christmas Fayre, volunteering for events, or simply showing support through kind words, we are incredibly grateful for everything you do to make our school a warm and vibrant place.

Our teachers and staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that each child feels excited, safe, and cared for. From classroom activities to festive performances, they’ve gone above and beyond to create a magical learning environment for our pupils. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them.

I hope this holiday brings joy, rest, and relaxing time for all our families. We are excited to welcome you back in the New Year, ready to continue our journey of learning together.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Take care,

Mrs Winter

Headteacher
