Headteacher's Newsletter

Friday 5^th December 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we move steadily toward the end of term, I want to thank everyone for the continued effort and energy you bring each day. This is always a demanding stretch of the year, yet the commitment from staff, children and families remains impressive.

It has been a joy to hear Christmas songs and Hymns echoing through the building during Hymn Practice. There’s something about those familiar melodies that lifts the atmosphere instantly and reminds us of the season of hope we’re entering. Year 4 are also deep into their Nativity rehearsals and making excellent progress. Their enthusiasm is clear and I’m sure their performances will be a real highlight.

This Sunday’s Gospel, Luke 3:1-6, calls us to prepare our hearts, reminding us that all mankind shall see the salvation of God. In school, these small moments (shared singing, rehearsals, teamwork) mirror that spirit of preparation. They draw us together, refocus us on what truly matters and help us recognise the light and promise that Advent brings.

Thank you all for your dedication as we continue this journey through the season.
