Dear Parents and carers,

I hope you all enjoyed the bank holiday week-end, especially with the beautiful weather that Falmouth had.

What a treat!

Coming home with the children this evening is a ‘Residential Information Booklet’. As a school we are

reviewing our current provision for this moving forwards and, as always, value your input and feedback into

this process. After reading through the various options provided in the booklet, there is space at the back for

you to share your views. This will inform what residential experiences we offer our children from next year;

we are seeking to offer a range of experiences that grow and are different each year. As the bookings will need

to be secured fairly swiftly, we are asking for these to be returned by Friday 18th May.

As you are probably aware, next week is SATS week for our Year 6 children; the children have been working

so hard towards these tests and we know that they will do their absolute best during the week. We are so

proud of them. I’d like to remind all Y6 parents to please ensure children are in school every day promptly

during this week. Thank you.

I hope you have a super weekend.

With best wishes,

Hannah Stevens
