YEAR 6 SATs

Congratulations to our Year 6 children! SATs are over for another year and they were amazing! We are so proud of how hard they have all worked this year and we know this will pay dividends as the children embark on the next phase of their education and begin secondary school in September. Our children are exceptional and are, of course,  so much more than a SATs result! Well done to everyone for getting in on time, for remaining calm and focused and for keeping a smile on your face! Breakfast snacks definitely helped! Thank you to the Year 6 team for making regular visits to the supermarket over the week to keep us stocked up with fruit and pastries.

CYCLES AND SCOOTERS

Just a polite reminder that if your child cycles or scoots to school, please can they dismount on arrival and walk their bike or scooter to park it up. Similarly, can children walk their bike and scooters to the gate on exit at the end of the day. There is a heavy footfall during these times and therefore, greater risk of collisions. The only exception to this is if your child arrives with the bike bus.

VACATING THE SCHOOL GROUNDS AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY

Please can we remind you to vacate the school grounds promptly at the end of the school day (3.15pm). This is so that after school clubs outside can start and children in HOSCA can go outside.
