Message from the Headteacher

Dear Parents & Carers

Despite the gloomy weather, this week’s newsletter is full of great news which shows what a generous and caring community school Abbey Primary is. I feel very proud to be the head teacher of a school with such enthusiastic children who are so keen to join in and support others.

Best wishes

Ellie Green –  Head Teacher

Lost Property

We have a MOUNTAIN of lost property in the lower school hall. If your child has mislaid expensive coats, jumpers, water bottles…please come in to Reception and someone will take you to have a rummage through and hopefully find these items.

Message from the Headteacher

What a wonderful half term of learning! Every week has been packed with special events and experiences to ensure learning is exciting and engaging. From Friday Celebration Assemblies to Navratri dancing, and spectacular Diwali performances, it has been fantastic to welcome so many parents and carers into school.

Several sporting events have taken place since the start of term and a wide variety of clubs are in full swing to give children a broad range of opportunities after school. It is lovely to hear children developing their musical skills also, learning to play the piano, tabla and recorder.

Next term promises to be filled with even more exciting learning challenges.

Bali Rai’s Visit

Our Year Five team had the privilege of meeting famous children’s author, Bali Rai on Tuesday. Our children were superbly well-mannered but most importantly, inspired to read more. Reading is cool and so are writers – we thoroughly enjoyed meeting and chatting to Bali.
