Nurturing Young Minds for a Bright Future


Dear Parents and Carers,  

I hope everyone enjoyed the bank holiday weekend, despite the weather!

This week we had an audit of our IT equipment ready for next year. It was good to look at the resources we already have and how we could make some helpful additions for our children.

On Wednesday, we had a new family visit the school. The children were so welcoming and kind as we showed them around. Well done to our children.

This week we have started making plans to update the outside area for the Brumble Bees and Infants. We have some exciting improvements to make to enhance this space for our children.

Next week will be very busy! We have SATs coming up for our year 6 child, and we wish her all the best for her tests. We also have two children joining us for work experience from South Molton Community College. We are looking forward to giving them experience of working with children from Brumble Bees to year 6.

Have a lovely weekend!
