21st July 2022

Well, 'That's it Folks!' we have come to end of the academic year!
 
We have had the best week this week too, filled with summer memories for all. Surviving the heat, we have enjoyed a wonderful Sports Day, had a picnic in a summer shower, played rounders and had a fabulous Leavers' Assembly for Year 6. The perfect start to the summer holidays!
 
Whatever you are doing, I wish you a relaxing and peaceful six weeks. The team and I look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday 6th September and we will do it all again!
