Welcome Back!

It has been great to see everybody back at school this week. It has also been good to see how enthusiastic the children have been about being back at school with their new teachers and teaching assistants.

There has been a lot of work done within the school over the summer to get things ready for the new academic year. Not least by our site manager, Mark, who has been painting vast areas of the school. He has also overseen the demolition of our old Year 5 and 6 toilet block which will be refurbished with much better facilities, hopefully by the end of this term. Mark constantly goes above and beyond the normal expectations of the role, making it his mission to improve our school environment for everyone. We are very lucky to have him.

Although they are probably now a fast retreating memory, we hope everyone in our school community had enjoyable summer breaks and are excited about the new term. As always, there will be lots of ambitious learning and enrichment events for the children in the coming terms to look forward to.
