Dear Parents/Carers, As I’ve previously said, it has been a fantastic start to the term. Thanks to your hard work, the children have returned socially, emotionally and academically in a good place. It is obvious that they want to be here, with their teachers and with their friends, they are enjoying the routine and structure of school, and they are really engaging with their learning in such a positive way.

We can say how happy the children are to be with their friends.
We can say how pleased the teachers are to have the children back in school.

We can say how impressed we are with you and how hard you worked with your child.

generation’.

Dear Parents/Carers, As we come to the end of this week, I’m sure the majority of you are looking forward to the half-term like never before. Thank you for the support you have given to your children this half-term; it hasn’t been easy but the vast majority of you have understood that you have been key in ensuring your child has completed their school work and attended live events.

Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you all for ensuring such a high level of engagement from children this week. We continued to be so, so impressed with the routines and structures that you have put in at home to ensure that children are watching the videos, completing the learning (and what a fantastic standard we have had from so many children) and taking part in the assemblies and small group sessions.

Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you for your support and positive messages regarding the online learning, the critical worker provision and for the quality of our communication. This is not a position any of us wants to be in but you are a pragmatic, sensible, hard working and—the occasional WhatsApp uprising aside—a very understanding community

Dear Parents/Carers,
’m sure you have seen the poppy display on the bridge over Harwood Road. A number of years ago, as part of our whole school work on WW1, every child in the school painted a poppy. Over the last two years all Reception children have painted their own poppy to add to the wave which is now displayed on the bridge. If you haven't seen it please do have a look.

Dear Parents/Carers,  
I just wanted to take a moment to thank parents for their support over the first half of this term. Our aim has been to provide as ‘normal’ an education as possible for our children, taking into account both their physical and emotional well-being, while also trying to ensure that they still have a broad and balanced curriculum, including specialist teachers, trips and visitors. I believe the teachers and teaching assistants have done an excellent job ensuring that we maintain a high quality of education with the restrictions we have been presented with. Life in classrooms still contains a buzz of excitement, chatter of children, strong and positive relationships between adults and children, and so much fantastic learning going on.
