Weekly Bulletin 4th July 2025
Headteacher’s Message
Together with Mrs Richardson and Mrs Marsden and all of Year 6 I am currently enjoying 3 days at the Robinwood Outdoor Activity Centre in Alston as part of our Year 6 class residential visit. It might be wet, but the children (and staff too!) have engaged in various activities including climbing, canoeing, problem solving, the giant swing and a piranha pool! It has been a rich opportunity not only to develop new skills and independence, but also to develop teamwork. I know that the younger children in school look forward to their opportunity to visit once they are in Year 6.
I also wish to thank all of those who attended our open evening on the 1st July. It provided an excellent opportunity for parents to meet their child’s class teacher for the next academic year.
Reports will be sent home today for children in Reception – Year 5 (Y6 will receive their reports on Tuesday 8th July). This gives an overview of your child’s progress and achievements over the course of the year as well as next steps in learning and I have provided a summary of the information we are required to report to parents at the end of the year.
We are required to report if your child is at the expected standard for their age or if they are working towards that standard. The greater depth standard will be reported to children at the end of Key Stage 2. Please return the response slip as you are able.
