End of Year Reports
Your child’s annual report will be distributed on Tuesday 26 June. These reports contain information regarding your child’s progress this year and indicate who will be teaching your child next year. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the class teacher or Mr Sterritt.
PTA Fun Night
The PTA Fun night is to be held on Tuesday 26 June. As usual it promises to be a super night with lots of events, stalls, activities and fun for all of the family. Gates open at 7.00pm.
Any parent who is able to help should contact the school office.
Homework
We have already made some changes to our written homework this term. We would appreciate your thoughts regarding these changes. Written Homework will finish for this year on Thursday 14 June. Spellings, Spelling Activities and Reading will continue until Thursday 21 June.
Late Class Applications
Applications for a place in Late Class must be returned to the school office by Friday 15 June to enable us to plan staff for next year. As this is always oversubscribed late applications will not be considered until all on time applications have been placed.
End of Term Arrangements
As usual we will be running a staggered finish at the end of term to ease traffic congestion. Year 1 – 3 children will finish at 12.30pm while Year 4 – 7 children will finish at 1pm. If any older siblings etc. wish to be collected at 12.30pm please inform the class teacher.
Teacher Retirement
As you will be aware Mrs McKnight will be retiring in June 2018. The PTA will be making a presentation to her on our Fun Night on Tuesday 26 June.

Cross Country – Thursday 7 June Swimming Gala – Thursday 14 June
