Friday 6th June 2025
Dear Parents and Carers,
We hope you all had a restful half-term break and are ready for an exciting final stretch of the school year!
This week, we’ve launched a new initiative: “Call Me by My Name.” This simple but powerful approach encourages all staff and children to use and recognise each other’s names consistently, helping to build stronger connections and a deeper sense of belonging across the school.
As we begin to prepare children for their transition into new year groups, we’re doing things a little differently this year. There will be more opportunities for pupils and staff to build relationships ahead of September, ensuring a smoother and more confident start to the new academic year.
We’ll be sharing more information with the children over the coming weeks, including an opportunity for you to meet your child’s new teacher.
We’re really excited about what this final half term holds and can’t wait to share it all with you — there are lots of fantastic events lined up!
Kindest regards,
Ms A Holmes
Headteacher
