What a fantastic week!

As I write this, we are busily preparing for our PTFA Summer Fayre. There is a real buzz of excitement around school as we get ready for this much-loved annual event. It is always so special to come together as a community, raising money to provide the very best opportunities for our children.

A huge thank you to our PTFA for all of their hard work. There is so much organisation that happens behind the scenes, and on behalf of the whole community, we are incredibly grateful. Thank you also to our Year 6 children, who have been preparing stalls with such creativity and enthusiasm—your leadership and commitment have truly shone through.

We are also very grateful to our staff, who give their time so generously to make events like this such a success and such a positive start to the weekend.

This week also marked Thank a Teacher Day, and I was delighted to take the opportunity to recognise our amazing staff team. They are always so supportive—of me, of each other, and of our community. Their dedication, positivity and willingness to embrace new ideas, whether bringing the community together or driving school improvement, is exceptional. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked alongside such a talented and committed team over the past ten years—it really has been a privilege.

One of those ideas came to life this week with our World Cup Launch Day. Everyone embraced the day with enthusiasm, excitement and plenty of noise! It was a brilliant start to the tournament—come on England! There was lots of fantastic geography learning across the school, alongside opportunities to talk about and, of course, play football.

I truly love the summer term, and this week has captured everything that makes it so special in a primary school. Thank you all for sharing your energy and enthusiasm—it makes such a difference.

Have a lovely weekend!
