Hi everyone,
It seems strange writing this, knowing that it is the last weekly news of our school year. There are a few bits of information I need to share and the information detailing our plans for September will follow over the holidays – please remember to look out for emails.
Year 6 Leavers
We were really sad to say goodbye to our Year 6s yesterday but we know they have bright futures ahead of them and they are going to be great Year 7s! Even if you haven’t got a child in Year 6, have a look at the Class 5 area on the website to watch their Leavers video and see some lovely photos from yesterday.
Free School Meals – new applications
Shropshire Council have asked us to signpost parents to their portal here, if you want to check your eligibility and apply for free school meals before the autumn term. A new parent portal will be introduced in the autumn term and it can be accessed from the same link.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Support
Please see some useful information below detailing the support currently available for children’s mental health and wellbeing.

And finally…
2020 has been a very eventful year and none of us could have ever imagined going through what we have experienced over these last few months.
September is going to bring new challenges for us all but I know we will get through it and I cannot wait to see all of our families back with us, as well as welcoming new families to our school and nursery.
I feel very lucky to be part of a community that has such amazing children, supportive parents, and extremely hardworking and committed staff. It is because of all of you that I continue to love my job and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Take care and please stay safe and well.
