Message from the Headteacher 

 Dear Parents/Carers, 

It has been a memorable week for us all as the country mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Whatever you feel about the royal family this is a historical moment in time that our children and families will look back on. Our thoughts are with her family at this difficult time. 

The children in Hedgehogs and Rabbits have settled in so well this week, their first full week. What superstars!!

Can I please remind you that Class Dojo messages and emails will only be read in the staff and teacher's working hours Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. Staff will endeavour to answer your messages and queries in 24 hours. If your enquiry is urgent then please call the school between 8.30am-3.30pm. Protecting our staff work-life balance and well-being is really important to us. 

I hope you all have a restful long weekend, and we will see you all on Tuesday. 

Thank you for your support, 

Kerry Devane
