News from EBPS 23rd July 2024
School’s out for summer!
Dear parents and carers,
Just a brief final newsletter of this academic year. Please see the attached Termly Round-Up of photographs from this term, including today’s Bartonian awards.
Year Six
A special mention to our Year Six children who leave us today for pastures new. I am sure they will continue to shine brightly and display the EBPS values they have come to embody at whichever secondary school they are attending. I hope they always remember their happy days and memories of primary school and remember to act with integrity at all times. The year group leave us on a high with wonderful SATs results, two stunning performances of “Wonka” and after absolutely soaking the teachers in their traditional water fight! We wish you well Year Six: shine brightly!
Staff news
On behalf of all of the staff here, thank you very much for the kind words, cards and gifts which have been given to staff today. These are never expected but are gratefully received.
A special thank you and goodbye to support staff who leave us today: Miss Mantle (Reception HLTA), Mrs Flint (Behaviour Support Worker) and Miss Dabrowski (Reception TA) I would like to thank them for their time at our school and wish them all the very best for the future. Miss Brown and Mrs Crasto also finish their fixed-term teaching contracts with us today and we wish them well for their futures and thank them for their time with Ash and Violet classes respectively.
New term
A reminder that the new school year begins on Wednesday 4th September at 8:45am. Please note there will be different classroom doors in use due to the building work – please check the information carefully which was sent home yesterday and share this with your child(ren). The new doors will all be signed and there will be lots of members of SLT on duty to support you as needed. The building work starts in earnest from tomorrow and extra caution will need to be taken on the school site.
Reading
Remember to keep your children reading this summer and to engage with the “Summer Reading Challenge” at Earls Barton library! Certificates and house points will be awarded in September for everyone who takes part.
Co-Headship
In September, Mr Morris and I begin our co-headship and we will both be here on the first day to welcome you all back to a new academic year. From then on, Mr Morris will work Monday – Wednesday and I will work Wednesday – Friday. All communications and decisions will be made by us jointly with regard to the leadership of the school.
Wishing you all a wonderful, safe summer break.
Kind regards,
Miss Lally
