Let your light shine through family, friendship and faith

Holiday Club

Thank you to all those who have booked on to holiday club.  The club is open every day from 26th July to 1st September.

Goodbye to Year 4

Goodbye to all of our year 4 children today.  We’re sad to see you go but it’s also lovely to see how confident and ready you are to let your light shine on the next step of your journey.

School Opens on Wednesday 6th September

Staff News

Mrs Fox left us today after nearly 10 years at Barlaston.  I know she was as sorry to go as we were to see her go. She goes with our thanks for all of her hard work in her time here, and our very best wishes for every success in the future.  Good luck Mrs Fox!

From autumn term our school will have a formal Senior Leadership Team.  From 1st September Mr Peel will become Senior Leader – Early Years Development, Mr Mellor will become Senior Leader – Curriculum Development, Mrs Haddrell will join the Senior Leadership Team on all aspects of SEND and Inclusion, and Mrs Broome will become Assistant Head – School Development.  This will not impact their classroom responsibilities.  Congratulations to our new Senior Leadership Team.

Thank you.

Thank you for all of your support and patience throughout what has been a busy and challenging year.  We look forward to seeing you in September for another busy but hopefully slightly more stable year.

Have a great summer from all of the team at School.

Regards,

Mr J Gordon
