Newsletter 19th December 2025
Dear parents and carers,
It has been a busy and magical week in school! Thank you all for your support to make these events so special for our children. A Christmas term in numbers: 150 visitors attended our EYFS performance of “A Wriggly Nativity”. All 460 children saw a Pantomime performance of “A Christmas Carol” - kindly paid for by our fabulous PTA. Today saw 17 children awarded their special “Bartonian Award” for kindness.
(To the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas...) There were five fabulous sittings of Christmas lunch; Four fabulous showcases to parents; Three stunning performances of “Cold Hands, Warm Heart” by our senior choir; Two wonderful Christmas experiences at All Saints church. And one “Carols on the Playground”.
On behalf of everyone, thank you to all of the parents and carers who have given staff cards, gifts and kind words of thanks and Christmas greetings. These are truly valued and appreciated by us all.
