Dear Parents

This will be the final full newsletter of this term before we finish on Wednesday 20th December at 12 noon.

This has been the week of song with the choir singing at the Mayor's Concert on Tuesday and the school Christingle Service on Wednesday evening.

Both events were beautiful and the children were a delight.  We always, without fail, get complimented by members of the public about the vigour the children sing with, and the talented musicians we have in school.

For those who attended the Christingle thank you, and for those unable to attend for a variety of reasons you really did miss out on a great evening.

Christingle (1)

GOVERNOR – ELECTION

Thank you to all of the parents who voted in the parent governor election.  I am really pleased to announce that Helen Camfield was successfully voted in as parent governor.

Many thanks to all the other candidates who stood for election, we appreciate your support.

THE FINAL PUSH

Monday 18th December 2023 –  Christmas lunch day . 

Please send the children in this week with a plastic bag to take home anything they no longer need at school

Tuesday 19th December 2023 – Harpenden Academy ‘on tour day’ with a whole school trip to the Odyssey cinema in St Albans.

Wednesday 20th December 2023 – School ends @ 12 noon.  Please remember to collect your children.  We always have someone left behind and it feels cruel as they watch the staff dismantle Christmas before their eyes!

School starts again for the children on Monday 8th January 2024 at 8.30am.
