Dear Parents, Children, Staff and Governors,

Welcome

Welcome back to a new school year. It is lovely to have all the children back in school, looking smart in their school uniforms and happy and eager to be back and begin learning. We have had a number of new children start at our school this week and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all these new children and their families to our school. We are all looking forward to the forthcoming academic year and continuing to build further on last years successes.
