We are almost there … and holding our breath, as we approach the final week of term. We have had mass disappointment this week, with years 4 and 5 both isolating, and we really do thank families immensely for supporting the school in these challenging circumstances. There are some families who need reminding about what isolation means, so please see the information below. 

We all realise that the world out there is very fragile, and people are exhausted and feeling the strain and staff really do appreciate the kind words coming their way. Many families are really struggling and we have seen many quiet acts of kindness supporting each other in this tricky time. 

Children have enjoyed sports events this week: they may not have had the community aspect our school is used to, but children were able to show off their skills, have fun and even create new records! Year 4 will be doing theirs next week … and Year 5, you have until September to practice!

Due to the high levels of cases being reported and also high levels of worry as we approach the end of term, we will not be going ahead with transition day on Monday. New teachers will put films on the website, and children will also be having Zooms next week with their new teachers. At this point of term, the safety of our staff and children have to be prioritised: we want everyone to be able to enjoy the start of their summer holidays.  

Once again, thank you for your continued support in this challenging time. We are all working toward the same goal – an end of term to celebrate and also a healthy start to the summer holidays. For this, we really do all need to work together. 

Please have a safe, quiet weekend… so we can get to the end of term!
