Trailblazers

Welcome to the Spring Term, the first term of 2026! We are sure that the new year will bring a fresh start for all the children and that they will return to school ready and inspired to work hard, challenging themselves to be their very best at all times.

As always, despite how short the SPRING TERM is, we have a great deal of learning to do. Boosters will begin for year 6 children in all three classes in Trailblazers. There will be a continued focus on establishing routines and expectations as we teach the children to thrive, learn and perform at their best levels. We will be expecting all the children to work as hard as they can on their executive functions. We expect all our pupils to show great integrity.

Please ensure your child attends school every day and ready for an 8.40am prompt start. Every moment missed in the school day has a long lasting impact on children's education. Learning begins straight away at 8.40am and children do miss out even if they are just a few minutes late.

As always, if you have any questions there are a number of ways that you can contact us: You can speak to us directly at the end of any school day, you can get a message to us via the staff on the gates before or after school or you can contact the school through a phone call or an email.
