ISSUE 82 -  16th May 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Well done Year 6

Year 6 have had their KS2 SATs this week.  They have all worked incredibly hard and shown great perseverance during an intense week.  Well done year 6, we are very proud of the way you have handled this week.

 

School gates

The gate at the back of the Sycamore playground (near Madni Kids Store) and the red gate entrance to Reception (access via the Willow building car park) will remain closed.  This is to improve the safety and security of our school site.  We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but the safety of our pupils, families and staff is our priority.  Thank you for your co-operation.

 

Year 5 visit to the Media Museum

Year 5 are visiting the Media Museum on Monday 19th May in connection with their learning in science.  Please arrive on time to school.

 

Parent Cafe

Parent Cafe on Wednesday 21st from 9am in the Orchard.  Next week the school nurse will be attending to, so please do come along if you would like her advice on any medical matters with your children.

 

End of Term

School finishes on Friday 23rd at 12:45pm for two weeks.  We return on Monday 9th June at 8:45am.

 

We hope you have a lovely weekend and get to enjoy the sunshine.

Best Wishes,

From Miss Loughlin and all the staff at St Stephen's.
