Dear Parents
Welcome back following the half term break. We hope that you all managed to spend some quality family time together over the bank holiday.
Year 6 SATs
The Year 6 pupils sat their end of key stage assessments prior to the holiday. We are very proud of how hard they all worked and the positive attitude they displayed and hope that they get the results that they deserve when they arrive.
The Zoo Project
Thank you for your support with the visit to Chester Zoo. The children had a fantastic day and learnt a great deal which will support their learning this term. We look forward to welcoming you on 11th July to our open evening, when the children will display some of their exciting work.
Year 3 Residential Visit
The Y3 children had a lovely time prior to the half term on their visit to Anglesey. During their stay they visited South Stack Lighthouse and the RSPB reserve. In addition to this they completed a study of Holyhead and visited the Lifeboat Station at Trearddur Bay before spending time on the local beaches. Finally they visited the Sea Zoo prior to returning home.
It was lovely to see the children enjoy all of the activities on offer and spend some quality time with them, but sadly I was required to return home early due to a family bereavement and missed the end of the visit.
Sports Days
Whilst the Year 3 were in Anglesey, the Reception and Nursery children enjoyed their sports day and made the most of the dry weather. Well done to all concerned for a super effort!

Staffing
Mrs Bullen
I am pleased to inform you that Mrs Bullen gave birth to a baby girl prior to the half term break. Mother and baby are doing well. I am sure you will join with me in sending our congratulations to Mr and Mrs Bullen.
Mrs Andrews
I am pleased to be able to inform you that Mrs Andrews is expecting her first child later in the year. On completion of this academic year she will cover classes until she starts her maternity leave. I am sure that you join in me in wishing both her and her husband all the very best for their forthcoming arrival.
Staff Departures
The month of May always brings a flurry of staff changes, where teachers look for promotion / moves to other schools to suit their needs. This year we will sadly lose three teachers at the end of the summer term, Miss Levis, Mr Thorburn and Mrs Astley who will complete the year with us before leaving High Street at the end of August. The Governors and I are currently working on recruiting quality replacements as we have in previous years. I am sure that you will join me in wishing all three members of staff well for the future and in thanking them for their time at the school.
