Dear Parents
We are now in the process of planning for classes in 2014-2015. It is a busy time of year because we are interviewing for new posts. We have been commissioned by Leeds City Council to take 45 pupils into Reception Class. That is 15 extra to the 30 intake. This temporary increase in class size means that we will have temporary teaching posts in school.
Visit to War Horse: This will take place on 11th June for Years 4, 5 and Year 6. There are some loud bangs – please prepare your child, the performance is very dramatic.
Attendance: 98.21% to date.
Non-uniform day: for tombola prizes. School Fair Friday 27th June (Don’t forget your tombola prize, please).
Classes for 2014 – 2015: Provisional classes and provisional teachers for these classes have been presented to Governors. However, until we have finalised interviews we cannot give any further information and the pre-planning remains confidential.
