Headmaster's Message
Dear Parents
We know we are near the end of term when Welcome Evening has come and gone. Thank you for attending yesterday evening‘s session and I hope you found the information helpful. The idea is to keep you informed and up to date by striking a balance between whole school initiatives and the nitty-gritty of life for the children in the classrooms.
This is always an exciting time of the school year in many ways as we look forward to next term. Move-up morning was a really joyous event with lots of excited and happy children getting to grips with the idea of moving up another year. Of course, we also had the pleasure of meeting next year’s Reception class who seemed to get on very well. During the morning, I came down the corridor to see them and I wondered where they had gone to. Not a single sound was coming from the room but when I came through the door, there they all were sitting quietly on the mat listening to Mrs. Pullen. Given that they were only 30 minutes into their school careers I thought this must be a good omen. When we look back at the achievements in reading and writing of this year‘s Reception class, and look further ahead to where the Year 1s have got to, it fills me with great optimism for the year ahead.
Of course, as well as looking forward, we also have an eye on the year that has gone by and thoughts of the children who will leave us next week. We will have our Year 6 Leavers’ Assembly on Wednesday, preceded by a reception for children and parents on the playing field. This is always a bittersweet occasion when the children look back at their time here at the school and also look forward to the new adventures that await them. We wish them all the luck in the world.
I enjoyed a quick trip to the Town Athletics Championships today in Rugby. It is always such a pleasure to visit Crescent children when they are taking part in events like this. Their impeccable behaviour and positive attitude is a great source of pride for us all.
It looks like we might finally get some barbecue weather to enjoy so I hope you all have a great weekend in the sunshine.
