Friday 3rd September- Message from Mrs Braithwaite and Mrs Laird:
Dear Parents/Carers,
I hope you have had a lovely summer break and your child/ren are looking forward to coming back to school.
Over the holidays, we have had to make some staffing changes and therefore would like to inform you that Year 2 will be taught by Miss Ord-Arkle and Mrs Kausar will remain as their teaching assistant. Miss Ord-Arkle was with us for most of last academic year so she will be a familiar face to the children. She is very much looking forward to meeting them on Monday and teaching them this year.
We look forward to seeing you all on Monday 6th September.
Best Wishes and God Bless.
Mrs Laird and Mrs Braithwaite
