Our Christian value for Autumn Term 1 is Respect. Throughout this half term, we will be helping our children to think about what respect looks like in their relationships, their learning and the way they care for themselves, others and our school community.

We also look forward to continuing our close relationship with All Saints Church throughout the year, strengthening the important links between our school, church, families and wider community.

Staying Connected:
Good communication between home and school is very important to us. Each parent and carer will be invited to join our ClassDojo messaging system, helping you to stay connected with your child’s class and receive important information and updates.

Meet the Teacher Meetings:
As always, over the next two weeks we will be holding our Meet the Teacher meetings, class by class, from Tuesday to Thursday. These are an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, hear about the year ahead and find out how we can work together to support your child’s learning.

A Special Year for Year 6:
For our Year 6 children and families, this is an especially important and exciting year. Over the coming weeks, families will be embarking on the important task of exploring and choosing secondary schools that are right for their child, ahead of the secondary school application deadline at the end of October. We know this can feel like a big decision, and we will be here to support our Year 6 families through this important stage of their child’s journey.

The staff and I are very happy to be back and are looking forward to everything the new academic year will bring. Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership.

We wish all our children and families a happy, successful and enjoyable year ahead.

With best wishes,
Josephine Copeland
