Dear Parents and Guardians,
As I write, the children are getting extremely excited about their respective trips to the New Theatre and Hull Truck as well as reflecting on recent trips to nature reserves, The Jorvik entre and an Archaeological Dig! As you can see from the pictures the children enjoyed the trips and had positive experiences throughout. We believe students learn best when they can see, hear, and experience things first-hand. Multi-sensory learning is an important part of school life, and school trips certainly call upon all the five senses. It is because of this sensory experience that we value and believe attending a variety of trips throughout the year is an integral part of their learning experience. It’s been so good to get the children out and about and upon our return in January, COVID -19 permitting, we will continue to immerse the children in as many curriculum related trips as we can!
I have also included with the newsletter a separate attachment which includes important safeguarding information that I believe is crucial in helping inform our community about current safeguarding concerns and in doing so, helping us all to collectively play our part in keeping our children safe. When dealing with safeguarding content it’s not always an easy read and because it isn’t, is an indicator of how important it is for us to be aware of what’s going on, learning about the concerns and as a result, developing the understanding and awareness to help make good, informed decisions, and consequently, interventions when, and wherever necessary.
As we break for Christmas, the staff and I are extremely pleased with the academic year to date. The children continue to make progress in a happy, safe and caring environment and the children’s regular daily attendance and the daily support from parents is an integral part of that. Thank you.
The staff and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, a happy holiday period and prosperous New Year. We look forward to seeing everybody back in school on Wednesday, January 5th, for the start of the Spring Term.
Best Wishes,
Mr Roberts
Headteacher
