Dear Families, 

As we come to the end of another school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve achieved together and look ahead to the exciting journeys still to come. 

To our wonderful Year 6 children – we are so proud of you. You have shown resilience, maturity and kindness and you leave our school as confident, capable young people, ready for the next chapter of your lives. We will miss your energy, your leadership, and your laughter but we know you’ll go on to do amazing things.  

To our new families who are joining us – welcome! We are so excited to have you with us and can’t wait to get to know you. You are joining a school that values kindness, curiosity and community and we look forward to learning and growing together. 

This year has been full of achievements. Whether it’s been in the classroom, on the sports field or through acts of kindness and community spirit, every child has contributed something special. We are proud of every step you’ve taken, every challenge you’ve faced and every success – big or small – that you've celebrated. 

Thank you to our staff for their dedication and care and to our families for your continued support and trust. 

Please take the time to read the message below regarding the arrangements for the early finish on Tuesday. 

Wishing you all a restful, joyful summer holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back in September for another exciting year of learning. Our first day back is on Thursday 4th September.  

Emma Fordham,

Key Messages

 

The final day of the academic year is fast approaching. School will finish at 12.30pm on this day – Tuesday 22nd July. We understand Letchmore do not finish until the Wednesday.  

As always, I do not want to put unnecessary pressure on families with children in both schools so we will finish early as planned on Tuesday (12.30pm) but for those parents who really need it, school will remain open until 3.15pm. Children will be invited to watch a film in the hall and will be supervised by support staff.  

Please note, this is not expected to be a ‘staggered finish’. We would expect children to either be collected at 12.30pm or 3.15pm. 

We have requested consent to leave early on Arbor. Please log in to the parent portal and let us know if your child is allowed to leave early on the last day of term.  

If you decline or do not respond, your child will be expected to stay until 3.15pm unless they are collected by a parent. 

This is for all year groups including Years 5 and 6 who can normally leave independently as it is an earlier finish. Safety is always my priority so I will not allow any child to leave without parental consent.
