Dear Parents and Carers,
What a busy week we have had! I can't quite believe we have reached the last half term of this school year already and the weeks are just flying by.
We are looking forward to events happening this half term including all the leavers' events, sports day and Kirk Fenton Does Pride on 1st July to celebrate all the diversity in our school, local area and nationally.
We have also started to look further forwards into the new year with visits to nurseries to visit our next cohort of Reception children and the planning for classes and teachers that goes alongside that. We will be sending out this information before our moving up days on 6th and 7th July.
End of year assessments are still ongoing in school with the Y1 Phonics Screening taking place this week and Year 4 Multiplication Test next week. Results of these and your child's school report will be coming out to parents on Friday 15th July. We are really very proud of all our children who have sat statutory tests this year as we know how hard they have worked.
All we need now is a spell of warm and sunny weather!
Have a lovely weekend
Karen Williams

We hope you all had a fab half term and Jubilee celebration weekend. Our tea towel orders have now arrived and will hopefully be distributed during the next week. We have a few slight order/payment discrepancies but we will iron these out with the respective people during the next week.
There are a few spare additional items ordered and we will confirm availability once all orders are sent out - if any extras are required or if anyone forgot to order.
Thanks for your support and we hope you like these commemorative items.
