 Head Teacher’s News - Summer 2025

Dear parents and Carers,

Welcome back to all our students and families.  It was great to see so many families attending parents' events, evenings and annual reviews in person last term. I look forward to seeing more of you this term to welcome you to school and celebrate and share the progress your child is making. 

We have another busy term planned for the summer, which will include our summer parents evening, parent events, curriculum-related visits, sports day and preparing students for transition in September. 

Please take note of your child's timetable and ensure that your child brings their swimming kit and PE kit on the days these lessons are timetabled. If you do not wish for your child to swim, please do communicate this via the homeschool communication book so we can prepare your child for the change in routine. Changing for PE helps your child practice life skills as part of their lessons. 

Students who are brought to school by parents/carers should arrive at school between 9.15-9.30 am. It is important that students have time to carry out their morning routine before their first lesson begins at 9.45. We want all pupils to maximise their learning throughout the day. If you arrive after this time, you may be asked to wait in reception with your child until the current lesson has finished so they can be taken to class. Staff are unable to leave classrooms to collect students midway through lessons, as this causes disruption to the students already present.  We are very keen on good and timely attendance because of the negative impact on learning over time.

Thank you to all the families who have worked with us to ensure their children attend school regularly. As always, if you need any support or advice in supporting your child at home, please do reach out.
