Let your light shine through family, friendship and faith
“Enabling our whole school community to flourish and let their light shine, preparing them for their role as gentle and humble agents for change in the world we share.”
Whole School Photo
This year we will be having a whole school photograph on the afternoon of Friday 21st June. There will be no family worship that afternoon.
Father’s Day Breakfast Friday 14th June
This will take place at 9am in the hall. The cost is £5 and booking is now open.
Records of Achievement Day
We will hold our second Records of Achievement day on Friday 7th June. Parents and carers will be invited to come into school at any time between 2.15pm and 3.15pm that afternoon to put certificates, photographs, souvenirs etc into the folder with your child. There will also be some other activities for you to complete with you child should you wish to. Pop in for just 5 minutes during the hour, or stay for the whole hour. We ask that parents and carers leave by 3.15pm so that the children can begin the end of day routines.
Sports Day
Beaten again by the weather! We will have another go. Our plan now is to wait for a week with a decent weather forecast and to strike while the iron, and the weather, is hot. We will give you as much notice of the rearranged day as we possibly can.
Clubs
There will be no clubs during the first week back after half term. Details will follow of clubs we will run and when.
Half Term Break
School closes tonight until 8.45am on Monday 3rd June. From all of us at school, have a great half term, and we look forward to seeing you for final half term of the year.
Regards,
Mr J Gordon
