I hope you had a wonderful summer holiday, and we are very much looking forward to seeing the children again on Monday.

Just to remind you, our opening and closing times have now changed. Gates will continue to open at 8.35am; however, it will be expected that every child has passed through by 8.45am, the new official start of the school day, when the gates will be closed. Children who arrive after 8.45am will have to enter via the main entrance and be marked as late; parents or carers must also complete a confidential late-book entry before leaving. The new official end to the compulsory school day will be 3.15pm for early years foundation stage and key stage 1, and 3.20pm for key stage 2.

Just before the end of term, pupils were invited to participate in Northaw CE Primary School’s Extreme Reading Challenge 2022. We have already received some amazing images and cannot wait to see more.
