2^nd September 2022

Dear Parents

I hope you have all had a very enjoyable summer period and are as excited to be coming back to school as we all are. An especially warm welcome to all new families and to the children in our Reception intake. We can’t wait to see our youngest children arriving in their school uniforms for the first time on Monday. I look forward to seeing you all at the school gates over coming days.

As always, we have been very busy preparing for school re-opening and have spent yesterday and today undertaking some key training and preparation work in advance of this. There has been a considerable amount of refurbishment work undertaken at both school sites with new fire doors and lighting installed as well as new roofing at BJS. As communicated separately, the hall at Backwell Juniors will remain out of action for the first week back as work is completed and so there will be no hot food lunch choices during this time (Backwell Juniors only).

School Uniform

Please could I also remind you all about expected school uniform – please see the link below with full details:

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday and look forward to sharing your children’s learning journey throughout this year, beginning with our open afternoons from after school until 6pm on Monday 12^th September. These will be a chance for you to find out more about your child’s class routines, curriculum and general year group expectations. More details to follow.

Yours sincerely

Nick Webster

Head Teacher
