Thank you for a great year
It has been a wonderful year and I would like to say a huge thank you to all the children, staff, families and friends who have worked so hard and given so much support for the work and play of the school. We say goodbye with sadness to our Year 6 children and also to Mrs Bugby and Mr Morrison, and wish them the very best for the future. I hope you all have a great summer (and that the sun stays out for us all) and look forward to seeing everyone in September.
