Staff changes
At the end of this academic year we'll be waving a sad farewell to Miss Gough and Miss Love. Miss Gough will be focusing on her thriving PT business full time and Miss Love will be starting her teacher training course. Both will be hugely missed but we wish them the very best of luck in their new ventures.
We're pleased to say that Miss Rosie Wills will be starting with us in September. Miss Wills will be teaching in Owls class (Y3/Y4) and I'm sure you will join me in welcoming her to the school.
Governors Day
Yesterday we were delighted to welcome a number of our governors into school. They spent some time in classes, spoke with school staff and looked at the impact of some of our initiatives such as Talk4Writing. Huge thanks to all involved.
Uniform
If at all possible children should wear all black shoes/trainers (or sandals if they would like in the hot weather). PE trainers should not generally be worn as school uniform. We're very aware that at this time of year children's shoes can be reaching the end of their life however. If this is the case please don't rush out to buy new shoes.
Sports Day
Thank you to everyone attended sports day on Tuesday and it was great to see so many in attendance. We were particularly proud of the children who were supportive of each other throughout and huge thanks to our Y6 helpers.
OPAL Play Event
A huge thank you to everyone who got involved with our OPAL Play Afternoon last week – it was a huge success with over 160 family members and friends in attendance! It was great fun and really showcased how adventurous our playtimes are at Monkton Park. Thank you to those who kindly donated equipment too.
