Dear Parents & Carers

What a lovely end to the term this week has been.

Thank you so much to all the staff and volunteers who accompanied the trip to the pantomime on Monday - a great time was had by all! This was followed by Christmas parties for each class, many of which had a visit from a very cheeky elf who dropped of gifts for all the children, courtesy of Astley Village Parish Council. Yesterday, our choir visited Derian House where they sung carols for the staff and children. It was a very proud moment to see the joy that they spread. Then Key Stage 2 put on a fabulous show during their Christmas sing-a-long yesterday afternoon!

This morning we have finished the week with a lovely Christmas assembly full of fun and festive cheer! We also sent thanks to all those who have supported school this term, either by giving up time to support on trips, listen to children read and support events such as our Christmas Fair. We really are very grateful for these volunteers. Thank you to you all.

Wishing all our families a very happy Christmas and an enjoyable break. We look forward to 2026 and all the things we have to look forward to next term!
