Dear Parents and Carers,

The end of term has arrived!

Nursery & Meadow Nativity

Our Nursery and Meadow Nativity was absolutely wonderful this week. The children were fantastic – full of confidence, smiles and festive cheer! A huge thank you to our Year 6 pupils, who supported so brilliantly and helped make the performance run so smoothly. It was a lovely example of our older children caring for and supporting our youngest learners.

Year 1 - Visit to the Church

Year 1 enjoyed a special visit to the local church this week. The children were respectful, curious and asked some thoughtful questions, helping them deepen their understanding of the Christmas story and the role of the church within our community.

Staff Pantomime

Yesterday’s staff pantomime was a huge success! The children absolutely loved it, and there was lots of laughter around the hall. Thank you to our staff team for throwing themselves into the performance and creating such a joyful, memorable experience for the children – a perfect way to bring some festive fun to the end of term.

A Temporary Goodbye

Today, I say a temporary goodbye as I begin my maternity leave, and I am so grateful for all the kind words and support I have received ahead of this new chapter! School is very much in the safe hands of Mr Ascroft, Mrs Morris and Miss Fox, and I know Stoke will continue to go from strength to strength while I am away.

Enjoy the Christmas Break

However you choose to spend the next two weeks, we hope you enjoy this time together as families. Thank you for your continued support throughout the term.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school in the New Year on Monday 5th January.

From all of us at Stoke, have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year! 🎄✨

Coming Up First Week Back…
