 Head Teacher’s News - Spring 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to all our students and families. It has been so lovely to see the students settling back into routine so well. It was great to see so many families attending parents' events, evenings and annual reviews in person last term. It is lovely to welcome you to school and celebrate and share the progress your child is making. 

We have a busy term planned for spring which will include parent events, curriculum-related visits and our creative Arts week starting on the 24th March. Students will be taking part in a variety of activities during that week, and we are very excited to have booked a sensory theatre who will be visiting and running workshops for the students. 

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 home school communication book so we can prepare your child for the change in routine. 

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.
