Headteacher’s Comments
This week we say good bye to Mrs Haslehurst who is leaving to focus on her continued recovery and Mrs Zaghul. I am sure you would like to join me in wishing both Mrs Haslehurst and Mrs Zaghul well for the future. Well, we are now officially halfway through the school year. I hope you all have an enjoyable half term and your children come back fighting fit to work hard and achieve high for the second half of term.

Whole School Trip (Monday 18 May 8:30am)
Following the success of last year’s trip, I am pleased to announce the details of this year’s whole school trip to Tower of London.
Date: Monday 18 May 201 5
Time 8:30am to 5:00pm
Cost £10
Clothing Full school uniform (coat if cold and damp/sunhat if hot)
Food Packed lunch brought in school bag
The total cost of the trip is £3,962 (£15.96 per child). We have managed to secure some funding. Therefore, we are asking for every child to pay £10 towards the trip. If you have a problem with paying this, please arrange to speak to me.
This £10 includes the cost of the coach, entry to Tower of London and a workshop for each class led by a member of staff at the Tower of London. You may pay in one instalment of £10 or two instalments of £5.
Parent Readers
We are always looking for parents who can come into school and listen to children read. If you can spare 10 minutes or more, please complete the reply slip at the end of the letter.
Year 6 Drop-In Clinic
If any of the Year 6 children would like to have extra support with a maths topic, they are invited to see Miss Gibbs and Mrs Campbell during break times for a five minute consultation. So far, several children have asked for help and they are to be congratulated for making this effort. If your Year 6 child says that they aren’t absolutely sure of something in maths, please encourage them to make use of this free support!
