Dear Parents and Carers,

We have come to the end of a long term and the whole school community is looking forward to the festive break. The prospect of Christmas certainly cheers us up and lifts our spirits away from the cold and dark weather of the season. Yesterday in particular, the school looked extra wonderful, with staff and students dressed in all sorts of wonderful Christmas accessories, the lights on the Christmas tree were twinkling and we tucked into our Christmas dinner. Christmas has always been a magical time to be in school and this year to share the Christmas festivities here has been extra special, a real antidote to the world outside. Whenever I walk through the school doors, the strange times that we are going through disappear. Please enjoy the films of the children singing Christmas songs and the Reception Nativity (on our website soon), with a mince pie and a glass of something nice to really get you in the Christmas mood.

As the term draws to a close, I would like to thank you all for you thoughtfulness, support and unfailing cheer as you drop your children off each morning.  For children’s homework, we would suggest that they have time to relax, have fun and spend time with loved ones.
