Dear Families,

We’ve certainly had a hot week.  Thanks for sending everyone in with sun-cream, hats and water bottles.

 

INSETs for 2025 - 2026
Along with the holidays, we have got some staff training days booked in.  On these days the school and Small & Tall will be closed.  You may have seen the dates on the website, but if not, here they are:

Monday 1 September

Monday 10 November

Monday 1 June

Friday 24 July

Monday 27 July

 

Small & Tall price increase
Due to a rise in costs, from September, the prices will increase to:

Mornings - £5.95

After school - £9.85

 

Mrs Dean
This week, we had a visit from Mrs Dean who will be coming back to work part way through July.  It was lovely to see her and the children were very excited about seeing her too.  She will start back to work for a few hours each day and then build up to her usual hours.  I’ll keep you posted to the actual dates.  Mrs Kumar will be with us until the end of this term.

 

Mrs Rafferty
Mrs Rafferty has been selected to become a Primary Director of English for the Trust for 12 months.  This means that although her maternity leave is about to finish, she won’t be coming back to Friarswood in September.  The job advert is out and interviews are soon.  I will keep you informed about who will be teaching Year 3 next year.

 

PTA - bring a bottle
Thank you to everyone who took part in this today.  We have got some lovely prizes now for the tombola.

 

Have a lovely weekend in the sunshine.

Take and stay safe.

Mrs Wilmer
