Year 6 Leavers’ Festival Information

Good afternoon,

Year 6 will have their leavers’ assembly and festival on Friday 17th July from 1-3pm. Please go straight to the hall for the assembly to start at 1pm. There are spare tickets available which will be put onto ParentPay for those that would like further tickets.

We would like to thank parents for your kind donation to put towards our exciting end-of-year celebration. We have organised activities such as bubble football, a silent disco, a quiet area and garden games.

Children will be able to come to school on the final day in festival clothing – think bright colours, glitter and festival accessories!

This year, we will also be providing food and drink which can be purchased on the day. This will be cash only please and includes: hot dogs, chocolate crunch, ice cream and drinks (prices range from 50p to £1.50). Please rest assured that vegetarian and gluten free options will be available for the children with dietary requirements. Please bring picnic blankets and foldable chairs should you need a place to rest.

Please speak to your child’s class teacher if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

The Year 6 Team

World Cup Highlights Year 6

Good afternoon,

As we are walking to the Town Park on Monday, and therefore not under time constraints related to transport, we will show Y6 the World Cup highlights in the morning before we leave. Year 6 are able to wear football shirts on Monday.

Kind regards,
The Year 6 Team

The weather forecast is looking favourable and as we are walking there and back, please can children have sun cream applied before school and bring a hat and water bottle along with their packed lunch.

Y6 End of Year Reports/SATs Results

Dear Parents/Carers,

We would like to inform you of a change to the release date of this year’s Key Stage 2 SATs results.

The results were originally due to be sent to schools on Tuesday 7th July 2026, which would have allowed our Year 6 teachers sufficient time to include them in your child’s end-of-year report, due to be sent home on Friday 10th July 2026.

However, we have just been notified that the results have been delayed nationally and will not be available to schools until Thursday 16th July 2026. As a result, we are unfortunately unable to include the SATs outcomes in reports as planned.

This means that your child’s Year 6 report will be issued one week later than originally scheduled. Year 6 reports will now be given out on Thursday 16th July 2026.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Unfortunately, this delay is beyond the school’s control. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

 

Many thanks,

Miss Cook

Helping Year 6 Pupils Prepare for Secondary School Travel – Arriva’s Student Saver Tickets

As your Year 6 pupils prepare to move on to secondary school, we know that many of them will be catching the bus to school for the first time. To help make that transition easier and more affordable, we’d like to let you know about the Arriva Bus travel options available for the 2026/27 school year.

Arriva’s Student and Child Saver tickets are designed to help students save on their daily commute to school. These tickets offer unlimited travel before and after school, on weekends, and during school holidays, so students can travel confidently throughout the year.

For families’ convenience, we offer an easy‑to‑use Direct Debit system to spread the cost of these tickets over affordable monthly payments. There’s no setup fee, no minimum contract, and families can cancel at any time if their circumstances change.

We’ve attached a flyer with more details about the scheme.

 

Thank you for helping us support your students and their families as they move on to secondary school.

Save on bus travel – 2026
