No. 77 July 2015 Lyn Robinson Village News Maids Moreton News and Events School Report Keira Ainsworth, Headteacher of Maids Moreton CE School has contributed this school report: The last three days of the school year is always a time of mixed emotions for everyone. The excitement of the summer holidays about to start and the anticipation of all the different activities, places to visit and people to see. It is also a time of sadness as we say goodbye to our Year 2 children who will be leaving us for their new Junior Schools. They leave us in the knowledge that they have been carefully nurtured and prepared for this transition so they may successfully continue the next stage of their education with confidence and a love of learning. We send them on with our very best wishes and remind them to return from time to time to share with us their news. As the year ends it is also a time for saying thank you to all those people who have contributed to the success of the school. The governors and myself recognise the skills of the whole staff who have worked tirelessly and whose efforts are reflected in the high standards of achievement, behaviour and well rounded pupils. Thank you to the team of ladies from St Edmund’s Church, who lead our worship every Wednesday and to the PTA for providing all those extras for the children with their fundraising. The Year 2 pupils led the Leavers’ Service on Monday in the school to which parents were invited. On Wednesday the whole school community attended the End of Year Service at St Edmund’s Church; the first school service to be held since the church was reordered. From everyone at Maids Moreton CE School we wish you a very happy summer holiday. Merrymakers The group will be visiting Weston-super-Mare on August 5, starting at 9am.
