Dear Parents and Carers,
I wanted to write to you with final arrangements for these last two weeks in school and thank you for your time, support and welcome in these past few months. We have had an incredible 6 months together. I’m sure that you are aware of all the hard work that has been going on both in and out of the classroom. All this work is to support your children in attaining to their own potential. This work has already had a huge impact as we have some of the best progress and SATs results than the school has seen in 3 years. This has been a huge team effort and I would like to thank the staff, families and children for their immense efforts-Together we really do achieve more!
Donations – Please bring your donations for the Summer Fayre to the school hall first thing on Wednesday or Thursday morning. To make it a great event we need as many donations as possible.
The Performance - The shows start at 9.30am and 1.30pm- (yes I know I had said am before, well done those who spotted the mistake) on Wednesday and 9.30am on Thursday. Please feel free to come in to the hall anytime from 9am to meet, chat and relax. Please accept my thanks for supporting the classes with costumes at such a late date, we have tried to keep all learning a priority and accept that we should have asked for your costumes sooner…this is a learn for us for next year.
The Summer Fayre-Friday 15th July 2pm -This event begins at 2pm for parents and carers. The staff will bring out your children who can join you for the fun which will be stalls, barbeque and face painting on the KS2 playground and sports on the KS1 playground. A bell will ring at 2.55pm to get the children back to class to dismiss them to you as normal. You will be free then to come back to the Fayre with your children or leave the grounds.
Y6 Celebration Event –Wednesday 20th July 6pm -The doors to school will be open from 6pm and all the staff are greatly looking forward to the Year 6 disco to celebrate the end of their primary career at Bank End. Please note the Disco and Barbeque are for Year 6 children only. As it is a normal school day it is expected that all Year 6 children will be present for their lessons. If your child is ill and not present for school that day we would ask that they do not attend the Disco in the evening.
Classes for 2011-2012 -We have put much thought into supporting your children this year to accelerate their learning. In order to continue with this excellent work we have tried to endeavour to support the children by keeping their present teacher with them, so that they can ‘hit the ground running’ in September. Where we have employed new staff members we feel that we have made excellent appointments and are sure that you will be delighted with them also.

Reports – This year we have a simpler version of the school report where we will be letting you know how your children have achieved against National Expectation. We hope to get them out to you on Monday 18th July. If you have any concerns following the reading of the report, please ring the school to make a meeting with the appropriate class teacher.
Once again I would like to thank you for your support of the school. I love Bank End and truly look forward to the coming year with great excitement.
Thank you for your continued support!
Nichola Thorpe
