Welcome Back - Spring Term 2026

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
whose years never fail
and whose mercies are new each returning day:
let the radiance of your Spirit renew our lives,
warming our hearts and giving light to our minds;
that we may pass the coming year
in joyful obedience and firm faith;
through him who is the beginning and the end,
your Son, Christ our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

Happy New Year everyone!  

We hope you had a lovely Christmas holiday and are all ready for the new term.  We are looking forward to seeing you all on the first day of term - Tuesday 6th January - the Feast of the Epiphany.  

Operation DIY

No doubt many of you will have made new year resolutions.  In school we will be challenging the children to complete as many of the Operation DIY activities as they can over the next few weeks.  You can see those challenges here.  If you'd like a hard copy for the fridge door please ask your child's class teacher.

Uniform Survey

A reminder to take part in our uniform survey by completing the questions here. You've got until Friday 23rd January to take part.

Learning At Home

This will start next week and will be uploaded over the weekend. 

Events, clubs and trips

Please continue to check the school calendar here to see when clubs are restarting and when trips are scheduled.  You can see all of the letters that go out about these on the letters page of the website.  Term dates for the rest of this academic year are here. 

Arbor Parent App

Moving forward more of our school management will transfer from separate apps to the Arbor Parent App.  Please take time to familiarise yourselves with it.  Did you know that you can now notify us of your child's absence from school via the app.  You can always update your contact details - that's important - so please give these a look to check your contact details on there.  

By the end of this academic year we hope to be using the Arbor Parent App for all of our school management things. 

Thank you

Lastly thank you from all of us for the lovely Christmas presents - these were all very much appreciated.  Thank you!

Here's to a great 2026!
