Headmaster's Message
Dear Parents
I hope you all enjoy this last, abbreviated version of the Courier for the school year. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this over the last three terms, and in particular to Claire Tucker in the front office who pulls it together each week. It has become the key means of communication for the school and I do hope you all find it as useful as I do.
A three day school week has seen a lot of action with the summer concert, Year 6 performance of Honk to the school, whole school photo and leavers’ assembly being the highlights. A really busy, and sometimes emotional, few days but a great finale to the term.
We have had to clear out a lot of classroom and corridor displays much earlier than usual in preparation for the building and refurbishments that are planned to commence as soon as we break up. Expect to see a revamped IT suite, corridor area, Reception and Year 1 classrooms on your return in September. I am confident all of these projects will bring a real benefit to all of the children here over the coming terms and years.
Quite a few of the children have told me about exciting plans for their summer holidays. I hope you all do manage to get away with your families at some point over the coming weeks. Family holidays when the children are still young are such a special time to come together and build shared memories. We have a week planned in the Dordogne and I’m delighted to say all of my ‘children’ will be there to share it.
We send our Year 6 leavers off with every good wish for the future and we thank them and their families for everything they have contributed to the school during their time here. A number of families from this class have come to the end of a long association with the school as parents and we bid them all a very fond farewell. We are already looking forward to the leavers’ football and rounders matches in September as a chance to meet up again and find out how they are all settling into their new schools.
In brief, the destinations for this year’s group are as follows:
| Princethorpe College | 14 |
| Lawrence Sheriff | 5 |
| Rugby High School | 2 |
| Bilton Grange | 1 |
| Bablake School | 1 |
| Camp Hill | 1 |
We wish them well.
I look forward to seeing you all back here for Monday 2 September. The current Year 5 are back on Friday 30 August for some pre-season brain training (from 9.00am until 2.30pm) and the staff will be back in school for much of the last week of August training and preparing for the new term.
Have a great summer everyone and many thanks for all of your continued support of the school. We really do appreciate it.
