Class 5 Graduation

20th July 2024Carly Schon

I can’t believe the year is over! Class 5 you have been absolutely amazing. What a wonderful group of children you are. You have worked your socks off this year and I am so proud of each and every one of you. What a gorgeous class you are and Mrs Shaw is very lucky to have you all next year in Year 2. Thank you so much for all the kind words, gifts and cuddles. I am going to miss you all so much but I can’t wait to follow your journey and see what you all achieve in the future. Love from Miss Schön xxxx

Y6 Leavers Assembly

19th July 2024Chris Mumby

As we close the chapter on another wonderful school year, we want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for attending the Year 6 Leavers Assembly. Your presence made the event truly special and memorable for our students, and we couldn’t have asked for a more supportive audience.

This assembly was more than just a celebration; it was a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and growth our Year 6 students have shown throughout their primary school journey. Seeing you there, sharing in their joy and accomplishments, reinforced the strong community we have built together. Your cheers, smiles, and even the occasional tear of pride, were the perfect send-off as our students prepare to embark on their next adventure in secondary school.

We also want to acknowledge the tremendous support and encouragement you’ve provided your children over the years. Your involvement in their education and school life has been invaluable, and it shows in the confident, capable young individuals they have become. The partnership between parents and school staff is truly the foundation of our students’ success.

As we bid farewell to our Year 6 students, we know they carry with them not only the knowledge and skills they’ve gained but also the love and support from you, their parents. Thank you for being an integral part of this journey.

Enjoy a few moments captured from yesterday. https://youtu.be/NSyCJ0WpNy8

It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you later.

Year 6 Leavers Party

18th July 2024Jillian Jackson

Wow what an amazing day we have had celebrating our fabulous year 6 children. To finish off our week of treats and celebrations, we enjoyed a Hawaii themed party. A fantastic time was had by all – face paint, takeaway, ice cream, singing, limbo, football and finally a water fight which was obviously instigated by Mr Ambler!!!

Schools Catering Price Increase across XP Trust

17th July 2024Miss C Blair

Dear parents,

We have recently received next year’s prices from our current catering providers, Doncaster Council Schools Catering Service.

Due to rising food and labour costs, they have significantly increased the price to all of our schools across the Trust. 

Even with the schools heavily subsidising this, we may still need to increase the cost per meal for parents to £3.00. We are greatly disappointed to ask this of our parents, but this is a decision we have had to make due to reasons out of our control. 

We will continue to work with Schools Catering over the summer holidays to try and bring these costs down, whilst ensuring a high quality meal will be provided to each of our students. We will keep parents informed with any updates on this.

We are exploring other providers, and if necessary, we will look to change providers if a more cost effective offer is available elsewhere.

We will do everything we can to keep the price of school meals affordable to our parents, but we wanted to provide early warning that our prices are likely to increase from September 2024.

Year 6 Bridlington

16th July 2024Jillian Jackson

Wow – what a fabulous leavers treat we had today! The rain stayed away from Bridlington and everyone had a great time on the beach – playing football, playing cricket, digging in the sand and splashing in the sea. It is clear our children do not understand ‘only paddle’ and as you will see on the photos below they got VERY VERY wet! Apologies for the amount of sand and sea water they brought home in their bags and on their clothes but they were having too much fun to stop them!!!

The fish and chips were amazing, the ice creams were delicious and the children were fantastic. No better way to start the leavers celebrations this week especially after their hard work all year was rewarded with excellent SATs results last week.

Thank you for all being amazing year 6.

From Mrs Jackson, Mr Mumby, Mr Ambler and Mrs Rafferty x
