Newsletter 10.07
Thu 10 Jul 2025Dear parents/carers
There are no year group newsletters this week as it has been transition, instead please find below information regarding school organisation and upcoming dates.
We have had a fabulous few days of transition and the children have been fantastic.
They have settled in well to their new classes and there has been a great buzz around school.
I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the teaching staff so that you have a clear overview of the school.
It has been great to welcome Mr Wilson, Miss Pitts, Miss Myerscough and Mr Shaw to school.
