Information from Mrs Driver

Welcome back and Happy New Year! 

2017 looks to be a very busy year for us in school. There are lots of exciting trips and visits being planned as well as some different events in school.  Below this newsletter is a list of known dates so far for this term. Please keep it handy. We endeavour not to change dates once they have been set, but there are times when this is unavoidable, however we will try to give as much notice as possible. I have also reminded you of the term dates for the next school year – 2017 – 2018 to assist you in planning holidays. Please remember we are asked to discourage all absences.

Hopefully the weather will be kind to us this term but in the event of severe weather we will use Twitter and the school website to post the news of a school closure. Please keep an eye on these. There is also a new Hertfordshire system for school closures and we will be sending letters out about this in the near future. 

Mrs Hopcraft
It is with regret that I have to tell you that Mrs Hopcraft is leaving us tomorrow 6th January. She is moving to Trotts Hill School in Stevenage as Finance Manager. She will be sorely missed by us all but we all wish her well!  

Photos from the Christmas Shows
There is a selection of photographs from the Christmas Shows on the school website. If you would like to order a copy of the CD we have made with over 150 photos on, please return the order form. The CD’s will only cost £2 each as we are copying them ourselves. All orders must be received by Friday 13th January 2017.  

Please remember if you have any concerns about your child at  school, do not hesitate to come in to see me.  I look forward to seeing you in school in the very near future.

Yours sincerely
Mary Driver
