Newsletter 27th March 2026
Dear Parent/ Carer,
As we come to the end of another action-packed week and learning-filled term, it is a pleasure to share many of the successes and highlights of this term. Please do take a look at our “Termly Round-Up” to see photos of what they children have been up to during spring term.
Crazy Hair Day
This was a great success and created a lovely, fun “buzz” around the school. Thank you parents and carers for supporting this with the creative and innovative hair styles and through your donations to the Air Ambulance. Thanks also to Miss Lawton and our School Council who organised this day superbly and chose the winner from each class. The local Co-Op kindly donated the Easter Eggs for the prize-winner in each class, as chosen by the School Councillors. The total raised for the Air Ambulance was £370.05.
Y4 trip to Stanwick Lakes
Our Year Four children had a wonderful day trip in the spring sunshine on Thursday this week. They enjoyed their session with the ranger, learning about the river Nene as well as visiting the museum, nature trails and play areas. Thanks to the staff and parent helpers who accompanied this trip.
Bartonian Assemblies
Well done to the recipients of our termly “Bartonian Award” today. As always, it is an absolute pleasure to read the meaningful words the teachers write about their chosen child. This term’s focus value was Excellence and there were many worthy winners.
End of term rewards
Also today was our end of term house point reward of popcorn and a movie for Air house who have collectively earned the most house points.
House point totals for spring 2 were:
Air 2380
Earth 2219
Fire 2261
Water 2340
Furthermore, it was the “Reading Reward” which was an Easter egg hunt on the playground for all children who have read at home 5 times every week this term! What a busy day!
Staffing news
As you know, Mrs Bromilow has not been in school for several months due to ill health. On Wednesday, we held a special “farewell” assembly for Mrs Bromilow as she officially retired after over 20 years working at Earls Barton Primary School. We thank Mrs Bromilow from the bottom of our hearts for all of her many contributions over the past two decades in school where she has taught countless children and two generations of many families. As well as teaching French, RE, music and computing, Mrs Bromilow went above and beyond in so many ways for our school and for the children. Organising special themed days, visitors, projects and creating many of the strong links we have within the community. Mrs Bromilow will be greatly missed but we are delighted she plans to return to us in the future as one of our reading volunteers!
Congratulations to our winners
We are very pleased that two of our children won prizes in the Hatton Catering Easter prize give-away. Lola won an Easter egg and Indie a new bike.
Attendance
We were very pleased to be able to send 301 “excellent attendance” messages this term to pupils whose attendance was 96% or more, 79 of which were for 100% attendance!
Attendance this week was 95.82%. The top classes this week were Poppy with 98.33%, Bluebell with 98.62% and the winner was Daisy with 99.33%. Well done!
