Dear Parents and Carers,

A huge well done to our fantastic Y6’s who have left primary school today! We are very proud of them, not only because of the resilience they have shown this year, but because of the impressive young people they have become. Yesterday, parents of children in Y6 had the opportunity to hear favourite school memories as well as advice for the future. It was lovely to hear the children thanking various staff members for the help they have received over the years and rewarding to know that it made such an impact.

I was particularly pleased to see the strong friendships and loyalty between the Y6’s. Most have spent seven long and happy years at Bramhope, and we know from experience that in some cases, these friendships will last a lifetime.

May I take this opportunity to wish everyone well over the summer holiday. Parents, staff and pupils are looking forward to some rest, relaxation and enjoyable times with friends and family. It has been a strange and difficult year, and I am enormously grateful to our hard-working staff team for ensuring we have always done the best for the children.

We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday 9 September.

Dr Bike

On Tuesday, Dr Bike came to school to check bikes and carry out minor servicing.  It was a hugely successful day with 36 bikes serviced, including many puncture repairs! I would like to thank everyone who brought their bike to school and wish you a happy summer cycling.

Calendar Update

As you may know, the additional Bank holidays planned for 2021-22 fall in the June half-term. As a result, Leeds has stated that there will be 194 teaching days next year, rather than 195.

The impact of this decision is that we will be taking an additional training day in September. This means that the five training days for next academic year are as follows:

Training days/school closed: September 6, 7 and 8. First teaching day: Thursday 9 September

Training days/school closed: July 25 and 26. Last teaching day: Friday 22 July

Have a wonderful Summer!
