News from EBPS 22nd July 2022

Dear Parents and Carers,

School’s out for summer! What a wonderful year it has been for our school community, I am so privileged to lead this school and to have experienced a wonderful first year here in Earls Barton. The children have been amazing with their resilience, positivity and enthusiasm for learning and school life. We have stayed open every single day thanks to the hard work and dedication of our staff team (and some creative timetabling!) There have been numerous highlights, including residential trips, sports day, Bartonian assemblies, the “save the trees” campaign and many more!

Thank you all for your support for your children’s learning. On behalf of the staff, thank you to everyone who sent in a card, gift or message of thanks and appreciation – these mean the world to staff at the end of a busy year.

Please encourage your child(ren) to keep reading over the 6 weeks. The progress our school has made in reading this year has been phenomenal and we want to keep it up!

Have a wonderful summer holiday; enjoy, relax and stay safe!

Kind regards,

Miss Lally

Preparing your child for next year

We have just sent you some information which would be useful to go through with your child before they return to school. This should be especially helpful if your child is feeling anxious in any way. This includes their teacher, other staff they will work with, classroom door, PE days, etc.
