Dear parents, carers and friends,

Attendance for term 4 has so far been much better than term 3. Thank you (most of you) so much for your efforts – it has made a huge difference. Term 4 is fairly short – it ends for pupils on Thursday 29th March at 3.20. Friday 30th March will be an Inset day for staff from the school and Children’s Centre.

However, we’ve got loads to cram in between now and then. Next week, as many of you are already signed up to, are parents’ evenings. Please let us know if you are unable to make it but still want a time – we will always try and fit you in! Just so you all know the processes within the school, staff will also hand in all their assessment data next week, and, having looked at the books recently, I cannot wait to see the amount of progress the children have clearly made.

Next week you will be asked to participate in our annual community cohesion questionnaire, and will be able to make your first contribution towards our work with our new partners at the Children’s Centre.

Next Friday, to make our contribution to Sports Relief 2012, we will be holding The Biggest Running Club Ever! Everyone is welcome – from pushchairs to pensioners - to come along and complete the Sports Relief mile at the end of school on Friday 23rd. Sponsorship forms went out with the children yesterday, so please give as generously as you can.

On Wednesday 28th March, the Easter Bonnet parade arrives in town. All entries are to be homemade, with prizes awarded at the event.

Finally, although we will remind you closer to the time, school reopens for (a very long and hectic) term 5 on Monday 16th April for everyone.

Yours faithfully,

Zak Willis
