Easter Newsletter

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we reach the end of a busy and brilliant Spring term, I wanted to take a moment to write to you all, reflect on our recent achievements, and wish you a very happy and restful Easter break.

A Fantastic Team Effort: World Book Day

A standout highlight of this half-term was undoubtedly our World Book Day celebration. I want to say a massive thank you to our entire school community—staff, parents, and of course, the children—for what was a truly fantastic team effort. Thank you to Miss Gulc for co-ordinating it.

The sheer creativity of the costumes and homemade props was incredible to see. But more importantly, the atmosphere across the school was buzzing with a genuine love for reading. You put in a phenomenal effort at home to get everyone ready, it was a day that truly showcased the wonderful spirit of our school. Thank you for your continued support in making these magical memories for the children.

Our Year 4 class had a great visit to Duncombe Park recently with some lovely feedback.

‘What a lovely class! Thank you for bringing such wonderful children, we were very impressed with their enthusiasm, listening and their labyrinth walk was magical.’

School Council Meets Luke Charters MP

This week, our School Council welcomed Luke Charters MP, putting active citizenship into practice. The children represented their peers exceptionally well, asking superb questions about the local environment, road safety, and life in the House of Commons. Mr. Charters praised their thoughtful passion for the community. Well done to our fantastic ambassadors!

Update on Our RSHE Curriculum

As you may be aware, the Department for Education (DfE) recently updated the statutory guidance for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) across all schools. We are required to fully implement these updates by September 2026, and our staff have already begun the careful work of reviewing our current lessons to ensure we meet these new standards. Below is a guide to the new curriculum. 

Monday 11th May SATS week for Year 6s

Monday 1st June Teacher Training Day

Tuesday 9th June Concert for instrumentalists in school

Tuesday 16th June Sports Day

Saturday 20th June Summer Fayre

Have a great Easter break!

On behalf of the entire staff team, I would like to wish you and your families a wonderful Easter holiday. Whether you are travelling, enjoying some quiet time at home, or simply looking forward to a well-deserved rest (and perhaps a few chocolate eggs!), we hope you have a joyful and healthy break.

We look forward to welcoming the children back, refreshed and ready for the Summer term.

Warmest wishes,
