We are just getting ready to bid farewell to year 6 at the Leaver's Service and are looking forward to welcoming their families to reflect and celebrate with us. After school, they will all stay for a picnic on the field to mark the end of an era.

We have a few children moving on from other year groups too, who we wish the very best of luck at their new schools. 

We have had a busy, full and successful year here which has seen our children flourish. This is testament to the dedication and hard work of our wonderful staff team. I am so proud of each and every one of them who, following a difficult and soul destroying OFSTED inspection this time last year, picked themselves up, took on new ideas, initiatives and approaches and embedded our already good practice. This is no mean feat as I am sure you have read about in articles in the press. 

Our commitment, implementation and impact was recognised in our inspection in March and this must be recognised and celebrated.

We are excited to be planning the year ahead, which will see further developments and improvements to our curriculum, approaches to behaviour and conduct and provision for children who struggle to access the curriculum and those with Special Educational Needs. Governors will also be improving their visibility to parents and having regular communication with you about the role they undertake in school and we will become part of Aspire Trust early in the academic year.

Alongside all of this work, Mrs Richardson will begin her role as Assistant Headteacher. I am thrilled that the leadership of the school will be secured and enhanced by this. She must be congratulated for this.

Staff will take part in two training/ INSET days on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th September and we look forward to welcoming your children back to school on Wednesday 6th. The calendar of dates is on the website:  Calendar | Langar C of E Primary School (secure-primarysite.net)

Have a safe and happy summer. I hope you get some rest and relaxation with your families.
