Happy New Year!

As we begin a new year together, I would like to wish all our pupils, families and staff a very happy and healthy New Year. January always feels like a time of fresh starts and renewed energy, and it has been lovely to welcome the children back to school with such enthusiasm and positivity.

This term promises many exciting learning opportunities as our classes begin their new topics for the Spring Term. This month we look forward to completing RED January; running, walking, and dancing away the winter blues! Our singers will be attending Young Voices, and are busy putting the finishing touches to their songs and dance moves. Key Stage 2 swimming lessons also begin this term, and we have a Scholastic Book Fair to enjoy as well!

We look forward to working closely together with you throughout the year ahead and to sharing many successes along the way.

If you'd like to come in and have a drink and a chat, I will be holding two 'coffee & catch-up' sessions this term. The first of these is Thursday 15th Jan at 9.00am, and again on Thursday 22nd Jan at 3.00pm. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

With warm wishes for a happy and successful year ahead,

Mrs Tuttle

Welcome back to Term 2 - this term will be jam packed, with our new Rocksteady music lessons starting each Friday, some exciting trips and experiences planned, and of course the excitement of Christmas activities and performances towards the end of term.

It’s been wonderful to welcome everyone back to school after the half-term break. The playground has been full of smiles, chatter and energy — a sure sign that our children are ready for another busy and exciting term of learning.

I hope that many of you will be able to join us for our Special Educational Needs Information Evening on November 13th at 6pm - come along and learn about the many and varied ways we support children here at Yardley Hastings.

As always, we are so grateful for the continued support of our parents, carers and friends of the school. Working together makes such a difference to every child’s experience, and we never take that partnership for granted.
