2021-22 Year book Pictures

St Andrew’s had a wonderful Leavers Service on Thursday at St Swithin’s, it certainly felt so positive to be back in the space and celebrating together.

It was an emotional goodbye to the Year 6 children and parents/carers and we are going to miss you all.

The Nursery had the most wonderful Graduation event on Wednesday as well and it was wonderful to see so many parents celebrating the children’s achievements. Thank you to all the Nursery team for the wonderful event and it was a privilege for me to be part of this. We will be putting a photo gallery of the Nursery on the website soon.

In Mrs Jayne’ s message :

At the Leaver’s Service we celebrate the children and their achievements, and it is also a time to thank our St Andrew’s community. We are extremely proud of all the children and seeing the photos and their performances is a true celebration of the joy that has been had this year. A big thank you to all our community as the report celebrates the whole of the St Andrew’s family and we should all feel very proud of this.  

Thank you to all the children for allowing us all to be part of your learning journeys this year and always making us smile. Thank you to all our families for the support you give the school in so many ways. Thank you to all those who have taken on roles of responsibility such as Librarians, Green Team, School Council and Play Leaders.

Goodbyes:

We are very sad to be saying goodbye to Mrs Buckley, who has been with us for 8 years. She has been instrumental in the development of our inclusion work over the last 3 years and before that as a class teacher. Mrs Buckley has made a significant difference to many families always with determination to get the best possible support for our children. We wish her well as she focuses on her own family.

We are sad also to be saying goodbye to Mrs Shoubridge. Helen has been at St Andrew’s for 11 years and she will be greatly missed by us all. Helen is going to be teaching in a school nearer to home. Thank you  for all her work and her support as Teacher Governor.

We also said goodbye to Ms Bartlett who was here for a year, and we loved working with her.
