Newsletter – July Week 2
Dear Parents and Carers,
Well, it’s finally here, the last day of the year. What a year it’s been. It has been so successful in so many ways.
Firstly we’ve managed to keep most children in school for the whole year without Covid impacting on the class. The children settled so well back in September and have made enormous amounts of progress. All of the extra support, the small groups of interventions and the constant reminders have certainly paid off. We are one of the top performing Trust primary schools, which is great news!
So many children have taken part in official tests this year.
Year 1 made superb progress with their phonics and achieved super results.
Year 2 showed just how clever they are and performed so well with their SATs.
Year 4 took part in the first ever times table tests. They had six seconds to answer the questions which just kept on coming at them! Some of our children got full marks and some children missed out by just one or two marks. Amazing effort from all of Year 4 who have consistently been practising their times tables this year.
Year 6 performed amazingly well in their Year 6 SATs. Their progress from Year 2 has been fantastic and I couldn’t be more proud of them. What a superstar class they are!
It’s certainly been a jam-packed year full of exciting challenges and adventures for our children. Sadly, it’s now time to say ‘Good bye and good luck’ to our wonderful Year 6 cohort. They are more than ready for the next stage of their learning journey. They are clever, thoughtful, caring and have a wonderful sense of humour. They are going to be missed by all at Friarswood. Their high schools are definitely going to love having this group with them.
Before I end this letter, I just need to say some thank you’s.
Thank you to you the parents and carers for supporting the school and your children. Don’t ever underestimate how much this positively impacts on your child. Even the smallest act of support goes such a long way. I know so many of you are busy with your jobs but those ten minutes here and there have definitely paid off.
Thank you to the children; for being so wonderfully enthusiastic and eager to do their best at all times, no matter what the challenge. They just keep giving and trying so hard. They are all superstars in my eyes.
And finally a huge thank you to all of the staff; kitchen staff, site staff, office staff, care club staff, support staff and teachers. You are an amazing team who always put the children first. You dedicate so much of your own time and effort to find ways to support each and every child. You always go the extra mile. I know that the children, their families and the team are so grateful for this. Thank you.
I wish you all a very safe and happy summer break. Wherever you go and whatever you do – enjoy! I look forward to welcoming everyone back on Wednesday 7th September. Don’t forget about the new times. Early years (Reception and Nursery) start at 8:45 – 3:15. KS1 and KS2 doors will be open from 8:40 – 8:50. They finish at 3:20pm. Gates will be closed at 8:50am.
Take care and stay safe
Mrs Wilmer and the Friarswood Team
