What a week it has been! In all my years in teaching, I cannot remember a time when we have had to put so many measures in place or think so carefully about the impact of the HEAT! The children and to our dedicated staff team have been absolutely fantastic throughout, and we could not be prouder of how they have responded.

As always, my sincere thanks go to you as parents for your continued support. One of our greatest strengths is what the school and our families do best—a no-fuss, common-sense approach to school life, with the best interests of the children at the heart of every decision we make.

Hopefully the worst of the hot weather is now behind us, but we would be very grateful if you could continue to apply suncream before school, send children in with water bottles, and encourage them to wear sunhats. We will, of course, do the rest to keep everyone safe and comfortable.

This week has also marked the end of our swimming programme—well done to all our Year 4, 5 and 6 children. Finishing with Hawker’s Cove was a wonderful experience, and you have all been brilliant, clearly enjoying this intensive approach.

We were also delighted to welcome Joel from Truro Tennis, who has been working with our Year 2 and 3 children. Please keep an eye out for dates and times for the tennis club—this is a fantastic opportunity for our children to get involved.

Looking ahead, next week is our transition week (please see further details below in the newsletter). On Monday, children will spend time with their new teachers in their current classrooms. On Tuesday and Wednesday, children should be dropped off and collected from their new classrooms, giving you the chance to meet the teachers—please just ask if you are unsure.

We also wish our Year 6 children the very best of luck as they head to Richard Lander School on Tuesday and Wednesday for their transition days. We will walk you there and back—such an exciting time!

Have a safe and sunny weekend, wherever you may be, and good luck to England—what a great excuse for a late Saturday night!
