Reaching high for the best for your child

 Welcome back to Fairlands! The new school year has started very smoothly and the children seem to have settled in to their new classes amazingly well. It's like we have never been away!

I would like to start the term by thanking all the teachers for their hard work over the summer - it takes a tremendous amount of effort to get everything ready for the children and their committment is, of course, highly appreciated.

Many parents have commented on how smart the new perimeter fencing looks! When it is finished, it will certainly make the school more safe and secure. We will also be able to remove all the old blue fencing, which will mean that the children have more usable space to play in.

Our SEAL theme this term is 'New Beginnings' - time to think about making a fresh start and the feelings that come with experiencing things for the first time. We will be focusing on this in assembly and the children will follow up this work back in their classrooms.
