Message from the Headteacher

I would like to wish everyone a happy Summer holiday as well as encourage everyone to enjoy lots of Family time together.

Additionally, I hope that the summer holidays are a time to enjoy warmer climes or hope that the British summer is not too unkind. But for one cadre of pupils it can be an anxious time. I am referring to those who are currently in our Year 6, whose lives will be completely changed on their return to education. We will miss them all dreadfully but we recognise that for some it will mean leaving childhood friends, for others it will mean the hard challenge of becoming, once again a small fish in a big pond. The Salvation Army has recently launched a podcast series of six to seven minute episodes, focusing on this transition. If you're interested or think someone in your class might be, please click on the link below:

We hope you're all looking forward to the summer holidays! ☀️🏝

As a reminder, tomorrow (Tuesday 25th July) is the last day of school and we will be finishing at 1:30pm.

We would like to wish the very best of luck to our Year 6 students moving on to secondary school in September ❤️

For the rest of our students (and our new arrivals), we hope to see you on the first day back on Wednesday 6th September 2023!

End-of-term-itis

Yes, it’s a thing.

Over the last few years I’ve noticed how different children (and young people) are in the last week of a school year. Endoftermitis is a very common condition (for children and staff - I should probably throw in parents too).

Children are aware of impending change; a long break to look forward to (or not), the anticipation of a new school year, new class teacher or even a new school.

There is so much much going on too; end of year performances, celebrations and transition days.

It’s a lot for our children to deal with, particularly our more sensitive ones.

The excitement, exhaustion and the uncertainty can cause some of our children to behave differently.

Some of our children are beyond tired (emotionally and physically). This may cause them to get angry, frustrated or upset much quicker than they normally would. They may be over emotional; fed up, crying at the slightest thing, find it hard to sleep, and they might need more of you.

They might want more hugs, more reassurance, more calm.

Go gently with them.
