It has been a busy penultimate week here at Penshurst!

We kicked it off (no football pun intended) with the first of our Progress Evenings on Monday, and the second taking place on Wednesday. As I sat in the front office greeting parents, it was lovely to hear the wonderful comments that were being made as family members were leaving. Thank you so much if you were in attendance, for supporting your child’s learning journey. If you were unable to make it, your child’s class teacher will be making contact with you to catch up before the end of the year.

We also held our transition days this week, in which your child had the opportunity to meet and spend time with their new teacher. I hope that they came home full of beans and excited for the year ahead!

By the time you read this, -Year 4RH will have visited Hull Truck Theatre Friday as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Associate Schools Programme. I am sure that all learners will have had a brilliantly dramatic time!

Although we are sympathetic to the cost of living and the fact that we have one week remaining of school, we are seeing a big increase in the number of learners wearing trainers and crocs at school. I kindly ask you to refer to the uniform policy, which states the correct shoes to wear. If your child’s footwear is broken or they have grown out of them, please ensure the correct footwear is worn upon their return in September.

Our final week looks to be just as busy (we can rest in the holidays, right?). Most of the events will focus around our Year 6s who will sadly leave us for pastures new after next week. Please remember that our Nursery last day is Thursday 18th July, and that school closes on Friday 19th at- 2pm after the picnic.

Whatever you plan to do this weekend (I am sure Football features for many of you), I hope you have a super time. See you on Monday for the final week!

Head of School
