The Christmas break is fast approaching and it has been another difficult term. May I take this opportunity to thank all parents and carers for their understanding, cooperation and support. The decision not to have the Christmas performances ‘live’ was a very difficult one. I know how much everyone looks forward to them, I know I do, watching the performances is my start to Christmas.

At least the children still got to do the performances and we were all able to see how wonderful they are. Well done to everyone concerned.

I would also like to thank all the staff for their hard work and the way they are continually adapting to the ever changing situation. They are ensuring that all the children are continuing to learn in as safe an environment as possible.

We are also saying goodbye to Mrs Davies, who leaves at the end of this term. She has been a great asset to our school and a very valued member of staff. Good luck Mrs Davies, enjoy your retirement and please come back and see us. We look forward to welcoming Mrs Sharkey to the team after the Christmas break.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and very best wishes for the New Year.
