Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back, I hope you all had a lovely half term break. This half term the weather can be changeable. Can you please ensure children bring a waterproof coat into school. Jogging bottoms for PE are also a welcome addition to PE kits during the colder months as we still do PE outside.
Staffing
As you know Mrs Trafford is expecting a baby. She was hoping to work a bit longer but has decided to start her maternity leave today. I know you join me in wishing her and her family well at this exciting time.
Today we welcome Mrs Mclardie to Year 6. She will cover Y6 while Mrs Lupton is off school.
