Here is this weeks safety message

Our school Librarian, Mrs O'Harrow, has made a new display in the library. Each time you take out and return a book add either a bee or a flower to the display! The fish show how many children read at home over the last month or so.

Good afternoon,
The term dates for next year have just been sent out via Studybugs. The first day back for children after the summer holiday will be Wednesday 2nd September 2026. New Year R information to follow.

Inset days for next year are also highlighted for you. Please note, we will be unable to authorise any holiday requests in line with Government legislation.

A final reminder that our last inset day of this year is Friday 26th June 2026.

I hope you all have a great half term.

Thank you to Julie, the Community Champion at Tesco North Harbour, for the lovely red apples. It was a great treat we enjoyed.

Here is some information from Love to Learn regarding a summer school programme

Congratulations to our amazing learners in Key Stage One this week!
Thank you to our brilliant trainee teacher and we wish you all the best for your future teaching.

A reminder that Year 3 and 4's Sports Day is tomorrow (Thursday 21.5.26) in the morning.
