Happy Christmas to all our families.

Thu 18 Dec 2025

Dear Families,

As we come to the end of the term, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you so much for your continued support throughout this term.

The Christmas festivities have been wonderful, with so many family members and friends joining us to watch the Christmas performances. The children have truly done us proud, and we are so pleased with the effort, enthusiasm and energy they put into everything they do.

Rev Laura was full of praise for both our children and staff at this week’s Christmas service, which was lovely to hear. We were also delighted this term to receive such a positive SIAMS inspection report — a real testament to the hard work and commitment of our whole school community.

Please join us in thanking all of our school staff for their dedication and hard work throughout the term.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a peaceful, restful and happy holiday.

Kindest regards,

Amanda Cope

Headteacher

Sparkle and Shine!

Fri 12 Dec 2025

We are so proud of all the children and have loved seeing them shine.

It has been lovely to parents, carers and extended family for the Christmas performances held in school this week.

It's been a joy to see the children enjoying taking part in their productions.

A huge well done to our Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 and Year 5 children.

You have all been incredible and made us feel very festive.

We are looking forward to our final festive concert when our Year 6 pupils take part in their carol concert on Tuesday.

We have been pleased to see the sun come out this afternoon while the children participated in the Rudolph Run for Kemp Hospice. Well done everyone. Thank you for your support with this fundraising.

Please remember we finish for the Christmas Holidays on Thursday 18th December at 3.15pm.
