It's Coming Home!
Fri 09 Jul 2021Dear Parents and Carers,
If your child is a football fan and likely to be staying up late on Sunday to watch the Final (COME ON ENGLAND!), then if you wish, let them stay in bed a bit longer Monday morning so that they are rested and ready for school!
School will start at all the usual different bubble times but if you wish, your child can arrive up to 10.30am and won’t be marked as late. The choice is yours!
It is 55 years since England reached a major football final so let them watch, perhaps talk about pride and resilience. This is a great learning opportunity which will support our Jubilee Resilient Key for Life.
Kind regards
Mrs P. J. Davies
Principal
