And there we go – our first full week of the Autumn term is complete! We are hugely proud of our new EYFS children who have taken to school so brilliantly. Visiting the class this morning, I saw first hand amazing concentration as the children were taking part in their phonics lesson, being creative with the inside and outdoor learning environments. Thank you also to the patience of families whilst dropping off to EYFS in the morning – this will continue to be quicker and smoother as arriving to school becomes second nature.

Welcome to our Newsletter Ambassadors! This is the first time as a headteacher I’ve had a team of children working with me to deliver our weekly newsletter – I’m delighted to have them on board! See below for their introductions.

Clubs start next week. There are still spaces so head over to Arbor and have a look and sign up if your child would like to join.

I attended my first PTFA meeting on Tuesday. I want to say a huge thank you to the PTFA volunteers who work hard behind the scenes to raise money and enrich opportunities for our school community. I saw first hand the impact of all the fundraising from last year and know that plans are well underway for an equally successful 26/27 academic year!

As always, any questions, please contact the class teacher and I am available on the playground most mornings and afternoons.
