Dear Parents and Carers,
Braving the Heat!
What an incredibly hot and stifling week it has been! I want to take a moment to say how immensely proud I am of all our pupils and staff this week. Dealing with such high temperatures in the classroom is no easy feat, but everyone has braved the heat magnificently and carried on with their learning and daily routines without missing a beat. It has been another exceptionally hot afternoon today, so thank you all for ensuring your children have come to school well-hydrated, wearing sun cream, and bringing their water bottles.
Sports Days Success
I am absolutely delighted to share that we have finally and successfully completed our remaining sports days for Year 5 & 6 and Year 3 & 4!
Given the soaring temperatures this week, we had to make a late decision to move the Year 3 & 4 sports day to the morning slot. While we appreciate this was very short notice for parents planning to attend, it was absolutely the right call and highly beneficial for the children, allowing them to compete and enjoy themselves before the heat became too oppressive. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility with this change and well done to all our fantastic competitors!
Looking Ahead: Classes for Next Year
As we approach the end of the term, our thoughts are also turning toward the next academic year. Now that we have shared our full class arrangements for September, we hope you have plenty of time to share the news and prepare with your children, building up the positive energy and excitement for meeting their new class teachers. The children will meet their new teacher on Wednesday 1st July.
As part of our September planning, we have a few staffing updates to share. We will be saying a bittersweet farewell to Miss Cordy, who is leaving St. Bridget's to take up an exciting new teaching post in Dubai! We thank her for all her hard work and dedication to our pupils, and we wish her the very best of luck on her overseas adventure. At the same time, we are absolutely delighted to welcome Miss Boylan, who will be joining our teaching team. We are extremely excited to have her on board, and I know our whole school community will give her a wonderfully warm St. Bridget's welcome. We are also pleased to welcome Mrs Knight, who has worked in school as a supply teacher this year and will be officially joining us as a part-time teacher in Year 4
