Dear Parent/Carer, 17 June 2025
It has been a busy few weeks in school with Year 6 Residential Trip to Osmington Bay, Year 4 Cranborne Trip, Sports Day and Year 6 SATs. There are many further events upcoming in school over the next few weeks.
School Nurse Drop In
Please note there will be a school nurse drop in session Monday 23 June from 8.45 to 9.45am to discuss any concerns that parents may have regarding toileting, diet, growth, sleep etc.
Please contact the office to make an appointment.
Open Evening
There will be an informal open evening for all year groups on Tuesday 24 June between 4.00 and 5.30pm. This is an opportunity for children to bring their parents in to school to look at the work and achievements that their children have enjoyed throughout the year. Teachers will be in attendance. There is no need to book an appointment.
Year 6 Transition Day 2025
Transition day for all year 6 children will be on Friday 27 June. Children will be visiting their new secondary schools on this day. Parents will need to arrange transport for their own child.
SAT Tests / End of Year Reports
Year 6 children have completed their SAT tests. We are very proud of how hard the children have worked. Their results, alongside the end of year report, will be sent out in July. SAT tests for Year 6 in 2026 will take place during the week beginning 11 May 2026.
End of Year Reports for all other year groups will be sent out in July with the names of their new teacher for academic year 2025 – 2026. We will be mixing certain year groups to ensure balance of gender, ability and SEND. Current year 4 and 5 cohorts will be split for September 2025.
Year 6 Residential Trip 2025 and 2026
The year 6 residential trip to PGL Osmington Bay took place on Friday 6 June – Monday 9 June and was a great success, enjoyed by all the children and accompanying staff.
The residential trip for 2026 has been booked for Friday 5 June – Monday 8 June 2026. Mr Goodlet has already sent out information. Thank you to all parents who have already paid the first deposit of £85. Please note the second payment of £80 is due by Monday 7 July 2025.
Hot School Lunches
Friday 18 July will be the last day we will be offering a hot meal service for this term. Upon request we can offer a packed lunch to those children eligible for Free School Meals for Monday 21 and Tuesday 22 July.
Holidays in Term Time
BCP continue to allocate an Attendance Officer to all schools. She has asked us to remind parents that Government legislation makes it clear that headteachers may not grant any leave of absence during term times unless there are exceptional circumstances. It is extremely unlikely that time out of school for a holiday will be considered exceptional circumstances. As a school we are committed to ensuring that pupils miss as little time as possible.
Sun Protection
Warmer weather is forecast over the coming weeks, we are concerned that the children have adequate protection from the sun especially during the long lunch break. Could you please send the children to school with: Sun cream Hat Water bottle Thank you for your support.
