Primary School Update (25 August 2023)

It has been a fantastic first full week back in Primary school. As the full timetable began on Monday, it was back down to reading, writing, maths, and our full specialist lessons across the week. Students are settling in well to their routines, and even our youngest students are growing in confidence each day, little by little.

We absolutely loved having so many parents in attendance at our annual "Meet the Teacher’ on Wednesday. Teachers thoroughly enjoyed connecting with you all and getting to know you a bit more. An exciting year lies ahead, and we are delighted to be partnering with you and your child on this journey.

We finished off the week with our first Primary assembly of the year, where we got to know our new teachers a little better with a short quiz, and the first Stars of the Week were awarded. Mr. Watkins and last year's Student Council were informing everyone about the upcoming elections in the next couple of weeks that will form this year's Primary Student Council. Please see Class Dojo for more information or contact your child’s class teacher if they are in Years 2–6.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Head of Primary
