The sun is shining and there is a promise of the much-awaited summer on the horizon. I very much hope the weather will deliver and you are all able to have a restful and relaxing summer break.

With just 3 school days to go until the end of the year, we are focusing our attention on our final celebration services and wishing our super Year 6 pupils a fond farewell and good luck for the future. We were delighted to be able to share their SATs results with families in their end of year reports, earlier this week. We are once again extremely proud of what our young people have achieved, with the percentage of children achieving the expected standard or above in reading, writing and maths, combined, higher than both the national and Lighthouse Schools Partnership average. If you would like to learn more about our results, please click on this link to access our results page on the school website.

We have also enjoyed celebrating our pupils’ talents in our much loved ‘Churchill has got talent’ afternoon.  This annual event, requested and voted for by our children, is always a real highlight of our year. This brought to the end a very successful year for Churchill Primary. We have shone in so many different fields from sport, to music, writing and public speaking.  These achievements and opportunities are a true reflection of our school vision:

 to nurture a community in which we ignite curious minds, encourage generous hearts and embrace a changing world so our children can live life in all its fullness.

As a final message, I would like to thank all of our families, pupils, Governors, school team and members of the PTA for your continued support this year. I would like to express a very special thanks to the super team of colleagues who make Churchill CE Primary School a very special place to learn and work. They all work incredibly hard and are absolutely committed to help every child to be the very best they can be.  It would be impossible to offer the high quality of education and care that we provide our children, without their expertise and dedication.  I hope everyone is able to have a well-deserved break and I look forward to welcoming families, old and new, back on Wednesday 3^rd September.

With kind hearts and determined minds, we inspire each other to be the best we can be.
