Dear Parents
We are writing this letter with mixed emotions as it is quite exciting that we are 9 weeks
away from a long and well deserved summer holiday yet we have to do so much in such a
short space of time.
Hopefully the next bit of information will make it easier to plan and diarise your schedule for
this term.
Please take careful note of all the dates and feel free to contact any of our teachers if you
have any queries.
