Dear Parents, Carers and Pupils,

As I write this Mrs Ross is being chased around a forest in Somerset, so I get to take over for once! Firstly, we are looking forward to welcome back the children from year 6 later today, who judging by the pictures, have had an amazing time at Great Wood camp. We have already started to make plans for next year’s exciting year 6 residential. We will send year 5 parents more information about this next term. Speaking of residentials, year 4 are eagerly awaiting their stay at Ufton court on the first Monday back after half term! It appears the residential visits are just like buses; you wait ages for one and two come along at once!

After what has felt like months of rain it has been great to see that the summer has finally started. The KS2 children have been enjoying using the field at lunch and break. It has given them the chance to really test out the new trim trail and play with the new footballs and goals that we have provided each year group. It has been a busy term and the children have made us very proud, particularly those who have had to sit SATs tests. We are now looking forward to summer 2 where the children can shine in ways that are not just academic. With sports day, school plays, pirate days, transition events and all manner other amazing activities, it is going to be an exciting term!

Thank you as always for your support,

Mr Abery and all the Westwood Farm Staff
