24 January 2020

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are fortunate to have a fantastic teaching team who not only go the extra mile in their day to day work but are also ambitious practitioners who continually strive to further develop their skills. I would like to end the week by congratulating Mr McKeown and Mrs Stewart, both of whom have successfully completed their National Professional Qualification in Middle Leadership.

A great deal of hard work went into carrying out their extended projects and I am sure you would like to join me in congratulating them on their hard work.

Have a lovely weekend

Rachel Colbourn

We’d like you feel involved in your child’s learning and maybe build on class discussion around our weekly ‘key questions’

This week’s key questions are:

• How would you describe your mental health?

• What do you choose to do when you’re feeling down?

• What will you do with the time you make during the device free challenge weekend?

Dementia Friendly

As a dementia friendly school, we always seek to support our local community and Catherine Birkby in particular.

As you may know, Catherine is setting up a cafe at the Bramhope Village Hall called 'Care for a Cuppa Café' and has specially invited our children to design a logo for the Cafe.

The winning prize will be a book token!

If your child would like to take part in this competition, please click here for more details. Please return your entry to the school office by 3 March.
