đ Welcome Back to Witheridge C of E Academy! đ
Dear Parents and Carers,
A very warm welcome back to all of our families, and a special welcome to our new Reception children and their families. It has been absolutely wonderful to welcome our new children into school and see them beginning to settle into school life. We are so proud of how well they have started their journey with us!
It has also been lovely to welcome everyone else back to school. The children have returned with lots of enthusiasm, smiles and stories to share. We have particularly enjoyed hearing all about their summer holidays and finding out about the exciting things they have been getting up to over the break. It has been a fantastic start to the new school year!
đ Meet the Teacher
A big thank you to everyone who came along to our Meet the Teacher session on Wednesday. It was lovely to see so many of you and to have the opportunity to share some information about the year ahead.
We hope you found the session useful and that it helped you to get to know your child's new class teacher and understand a little more about what the year ahead will look like.
đ Parents' Evening â 7th & 8th October
A reminder that our Parents' Evenings will take place on Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th October.
These meetings will provide an opportunity to have a longer conversation with your child's teacher about how well they have settled into their new class and year group, as well as discussing their learning, friendships and how they are progressing.
Further information about booking appointments will be shared in due course.
đ PE Starts Next Week!
A reminder that PE lessons will begin next week.
Please make sure that your child comes to school with the correct PE kit on their allocated PE day. We are looking forward to getting active again and enjoying lots of PE and sporting opportunities throughout the year!
