Newsletters

Just a brief newsletter today to inform you of arrangements for the coming year ahead. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful summer holiday.

Thank you everyone for making our Prize-giving such a special event this week; it means such a lot to all the pupils not just the Year 6s to have their efforts over the year publically acknowledged in front of their families and friends. And with Mrs Eccles apologies….please note the date for the Christmas Concert (and other non-summer activities).

Thank you for making Sports Day such a great, fun event, one which was especially enlivened by the Fathers’ Race! As always our immense thanks go to Mrs McQuillan – how she thinks up her ideas for the races never ceases to amaze us – her hard work over the term has paid dividends. Remember, Prize-Giving on Tuesday. Enjoy the weekend.

We’ve had a fabulous few days, from a wet PGL to a gloriously sunny athletics meeting. Our Hopelands athletes excelled themselves – I am so proud of everyone who took part. Daniel Vaughan showed us what team spirit really means – see Mrs McQuillan’s report. Don’t forget to come and watch our drummers performing on Friday morning…..

Well, despite trying to fool the weather into being nice for us by going to PGL in June….it was very, very wet! We’ll tell
you more about it next week. Remember the school photo is next week, .make sure you all look your best on
Wednesday.

What a wonderful concert we had on Tuesday, the children all played so confidently and the choir sang beautifully at the end. Thank you to Mrs O’Dell and Mrs Ham for all their hard work, as ever. I would like to wish you all a very happy half term; make sure the lovely sunshine re-charges your batteries – but doesn’t fry them.

This has been a lovely week. The Years 1-3 Swimming Gala on Tuesday was both a display of sporting achievement and great fun and the Fund-Raising events for India today were entertaining and admirable; both for the hard work involved and monies raised. Thank you everyone. ..Don’t forget to put the Concert in your diaries for next week too.

Congratulations to our brilliant Year 6 Drama class who won the Steward’s Cup at the Cheltenham Festival. Mr Evans’ report below tells all. And this after the Choir’s glory there last week. I’m sorry that I have to remind everyone about School Care protocols again (on this page) but, for safety, please can I ask you all to adhere to the procedures.

Well done, once again, to our fabulous Choir. They sang so sweetly at the Cheltenham Festival and I was immensely proud of them all. Next week Year 6 will be at Cheltenham for the Drama Festival too – we wish them all the best of luck. Some very interesting school trips are coming up now that the weather is finally warming up – a busy term for us all.

Welcome back everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Easter break. We’ve hit the ground running, as usual, with the Cheltenham Festival Choir performing next Tuesday and Year 6 Drama performing on the 11th. There are quite a few trips planned too, please make sure to check the diary. Let’s hope the weather is good for us this term.
