Newsletter 9.5.25
We enjoyed a celebration yesterday in honour of the 80th anniversary of VE day. We wanted our children to have had a fun day whilst also appreciating the meaning behind the event and its long-lasting impact on modern day Britain. I know there are further events being held across the borough over the weekend, noticeably at Mesnes Park who have a variety of activities going on, on Saturday from 11am onwards.
Good luck to our Y6 pupils next week; you are amazing and have worked super hard this year, just like every other year! Don’t forget, Y6 pupils can arrive from 8.30am onwards for toast and a drink Monday to Thursday.
OFSTED Report
Please find attached our recent OFSTED report. From reading the report, you will understand why we are so proud of our pupils, staff, governors and community who contribute each and every day to make this school the place it is. As always, our aim of providing our children with the best start in life will remain at the forefront of everything we do. Thankyou, as ever, for all your feedback and support.
FOMBA – Marus Bridge Fest Saturday 14th June
The countdown has begun for the big day and as you can imagine, the FOMBA team are working hard behind the scenes to put magic together. Please could I ask if anyone is willing to offer an hour or two on the day to support the team on a stall etc? Any help, just an hour for example, would be greatly appreciated.
Hats and Water Bottles
With the weather looking good at present (let’s hope this isn not our summer!) can children be sent with sun cream already applied, caps/sun hats for break-times and their water bottles. Many thanks.
