Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Sadly – Mr Dixon will be leaving us at the end of this year. Mr Dixon, who has taught at the school for two years, is leaving to take up a teaching post in Northamptonshire. I know Mr Dixon will be greatly missed by colleagues, parents and pupils, and we wish him all the very best for his teaching career. I would like to thank Mr Dixon for all his hard work over the last two years.
After half term, parents will be informed of teacher and class arrangements for September.
Cricket – On Tuesday, Mrs Lecorgne took a group of Year 6 pupils to a cricket tournament at Whitchurch Primary School where the children competed against children from the local primaries in the partnership. All the children tried their best and showed good sportsmanship. It was also noted that the children greatly improved their cricket skills over the few hours they were there. Well done to Josh Palmer, Thomas Butler-James, Sebastian
Bosher-Williams, Dawson Powell, Max Temple, Alex Ostridge, Holly Salter and Bryony Furlonger. There were notably good performances from Sebastian, Thomas and Bryony who scored 2 sixes! A big thank you to
Mrs Lecorgne for taking the children to the event.
Year 6 Residential Trip – After half term, Year 6 pupils will be away on their residential trip to Brecon in Mid-Wales for a week. We wish them all the very best for what will be a tiring, challenging and very enjoyable week. Let’s hope the weather is kind to them.
School Dinners – Aspens Catering Service are hoping that the problem in the Langtree kitchens will be resolved during half term but this cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, on the first day back after half term, we must ask that your child/children brings a packed lunch or orders the Aspens packed lunch as we have been doing recently. We will let you know as soon as we can when hot dinners are available.

SATs – Well done to all our Year 6 pupils who this week completed their SATs. The children have worked very hard in preparation for these and they coped very well with the pressure of the week. Parents will be informed of the results on their children’s written, end of year reports.
School Dinners – Due to a problem with faulty ovens, Aspens Catering Service are unable to offer hot dinners until the problem is resolved. Until further notice they will only be offering the Aspens Packed Lunch or Pasta in Tomato Sauce.
Aspens apologise for the inconvenience and hope to provide a full service again by the start of the new term in June.
