Thank you so much for your support throughout this term, especially in the lead up to Christmas. The children have worked hard and made some wonderful contributions through nativity performances and carol concerts. The support you show the children and the staff means the world to us.
I wish you all a happy and safe Christmas and New Year!
This year has flown by and we are now entering the season of Advent in the church year. We will be learning a lot about preparing for Christmas through the story of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe during our Worship in school. This is a lovely story about learning compassion, honesty and love for each other. Please feel free to support this learning by sharing the story with your child/ children through books or films.
We have lots of activities coming up in school, please check the website and parent app as well as the ‘Dates to Remember’ on this newsletter.
Welcome to October 2024 News
It’s Harvest Time! It’s the time of year when we celebrate, with gratitude and thankfulness, all the great things we have in life. Each year in September and October churches and schools all over the country celebrate our natural world and say thanks.
Thank you!
In the final Newsletter of 2023-24 I would like to offer my thanks to a number of people. Firstly, thank you to the amazing staff who go above and beyond to meet the needs of children, parents and each other in school. We are very fortunate to have dedicated teachers, teaching assistants, pastoral staff, office staff, kitchen staff, welfare staff and premises staff. Without these people St Luke’s would not be the wonderful school it is.
Thank you to the children for their hard work and excitement in learning. It is their enthusiasm to learn new things that makes us all work so hard for them. I am so proud of the progress that every child has made this year.
Thank you to all of you parents. A school only succeeds when we work in partnership with staff and parents to provide opportunities for children. Thank you for keeping communication open, for helping your child in their learning both academically and socially and thank you for supporting us in all that we do.
There are lots of fun activities and trips organised for the last half of the summer term. Please keep an eye on Parent App to receive all of the latest information, including dates for special events.

It has been lovely to welcome all the children back and to hear their Christmas stories.
I hope that everyone had a good Christmas and managed to find some time to relax during the holiday period. The term has started smoothly and I have been impressed with how quickly the children have got back into the routine of school. There is always a lot happening at school so keep an eye on the dates, newsletter, Parent App and Dojo as we always try and give as much notice as possible to the things that are happening and any changes to planned events.
Mrs Armistead
Welcome back following our long Autumn Half Term. I hope you all had a relaxing time and that the children had a chance to play and enjoy. This half term is a very busy time in school as we prepare for Nativities and carol singing as well as getting lots of good learning happening.
Please make a note of all of the activities that are coming up over the next couple of months.
At the time of writing this, Year 6 are half way through their AMAZING trip to London. They are having an amazing time! On Wednesday they visited Horse Guards Parade and The Houses of Parliament, they went on the London Eye and then went to see ‘Back to the Future’ at The Adelphi Theatre. A huge thank you to Miss Garnett, Mrs Hatton, Miss Lund, Mr Bester and Miss Cokell for taking the children on this amazing trip.
A huge well done to all of the children in school, especially our new starters. The new children have settled quickly and are doing incredibly well in school, partly thanks to the kindness and great role modelling from the children right across school. I couldn’t be more proud! The children certainly live our Bible passage from Luke 10:27.
Welcome back to all of you. I hope you all have enjoyed a fabulous summer and are looking forward to the new school year.
A huge welcome to our new children and families who are joining us and we hope that you are made to feel very welcome and arriving at school, on time, looking very smart and ready for a fabulous learning year.
In this newsletter I have included lots of information that you will need for the year ahead and dates for your diary for this half term.
I look forward to the year and working with all of you. Please, continue to look after yourselves and each other.
Kind Regards,
Mrs Armistead
