End of Year Message from Mrs Fussell

Dear Parents and Carers,

Somehow, we once again find ourselves at the end of another busy year. It's worth taking a moment to reflect on our achievements and consider the challenges ahead.

First of all, we say goodbye to colleagues who are moving on at the end of this week. Mrs Akers, Mr Tyson, and Miss Dickson have each made huge contributions to our school, as well as being valued friends to many. We wish them all the very best in their new adventures.

In turn, we warmly welcome Mr Bourne and Mr Smallwood, whom some of you may have already met over recent weeks. I am confident they will quickly settle into our welcoming All Saints' community.

We also say farewell to our wonderful Year 6 pupils, who are ready to take the next step in their education. They have been a joy to have at the top of our school and have consistently shown themselves to be strong role models, living out our school values every day. Every one of them is welcome to return and let us know how they are getting on—we will be cheering them on from afar.

I would also like to thank, first and foremost, the staff. Everyone at All Saints' goes above and beyond to improve the lives of our children, and I am tremendously grateful for their dedication. I also extend heartfelt thanks to our Governors for their ongoing, unwavering support of our school and all we are striving to achieve.

This year has not been without its challenges and uncertainties, and I am quite sure more lie ahead. Nevertheless, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure our school provides the very best education—because that is exactly what our children deserve.

It is likely that we will receive an Ofsted inspection next year, and we will definitely be inspected by SIAMS, who assess the Christian distinctiveness of our school. These are significant milestones, but I am confident that, as a community, we will give the very best account of ourselves.

Finally, I wish all of our families a wonderful summer holiday. I hope the weather is kind and that you are able to enjoy some lovely experiences with your children.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Warmest regards,

Mrs Ellie Fussell
Headteacher
