Harry is enjoying his summer break, and finding lots of opportunities to rest! He was delighted to be back to his welcoming role of knee checking when we had an unexpected visit from an old friend.
It was wonderful to see a young lady who finished with me last summer as a Y6, in order to move house to a new area and begin secondary school. What a joy it was to hear her news and celebrate her achievements, fantastic to see that her increased confidence has remained with her and she is thriving. It made my day and Harry's too!🥰

What a busy year it has been. It has ended with some very hot and tired children, but each and every one has been such a superstar in their sessions, I feel so proud of them all. I’ve had some emotional goodbyes, some beautiful handmade cards, extremely kind messages and am so touched by your generosity. Thank you 🥰.
Reposting my annual summer tips below.
I would like to wish everyone a wonderful summer and well deserved rest!

It's so sad to say goodbye, especially after nearly 3 years. However, to send someone off with increased skill and confidence is wonderful. Such a bitter sweet moment. This gorgeous little frog will always remind me of writing amazing creative stories and interesting frog facts together. 🐸

I have been really moved to receive these lovely testimonials this year. To make a difference to a child, to support their learning journey, build their confidence and empower parents means everything to me.
Thank you to all the families for their kind words, it is a pleasure and a privilege to work with your children.

Many thanks to everyone who got back to me quickly. It takes a long time to get things finalised and work my way down my waiting list, to offer any available spaces.

What a week!
SATS and Mini-Marathon!
I am so proud of each and every Y6 child that I have worked with and taken huge delight in hearing about their resilience and positivity. To be part of their journey, receive celebratory photos and visitors to the door, with their medals, is truly joyful.
Well done everyone, enjoy some well earned relaxation time this weekend. 🌟🏅
