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.

Happy New Year! 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.

This year it feels very tough as the cost of living seems to be continuing to go up. Unfortunately we have been notified that the Rapid Relief boxes aren’t available at the moment. If you, or someone you know, requires an emergency food parcel from the Food Bank please contact Mrs Walling-Lewis or Miss Stephenson to arrange. Many people follow Martin Lewis as he gives great advice on money saving ideas all throughout the year. I particularly like his Christmas advice: "Christmas has become a retail festival, and it shouldn't be. Christmas should be joyous, but causes some people unhappiness, debt, and worry. Now, many people feel obliged to buy gifts for others that they know they won't use, with money they don't have, and cause themselves stress they don't need. "If you're really struggling and have nothing, then do truly go cold turkey – see family [if possible this year], spend time, think about life, watch the telly, but don't spend money on it. Christmas is just one day. Please look after yourselves and your family this Christmas and if you need help financially or emotionally please do get in touch and we will do our best to point you towards the right support.

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 the final half term of this year. Where has the year gone? During this half term we have lots of activities and trips that will include being outdoors. Please ensure children have hats and water bottles with them every day. It may seem cooler some mornings but it can quickly heat up on the field and when we are out and about. Please put sunscreen on before school so that your child is protected from the start of the day.

Testimonials

It’s a lovely community. We all feel like a part of St Luke’s family. My child loves her teachers and knows other members of staff. It’s lovely to walk into school and people know my child’s name and always say hello to her, even teachers from other classes or Mrs Armistead.

Parent

I know when I drop my kids off they are happy and safe and they both enjoy their time in school.

Parent

Thank you for not only teaching my daughter but also caring for her. She’s really happy at school and is making great progress in all areas of learning.

Parent

The staff have been so supportive of my child with Special Educational Needs. They are amazing and it makes me confident that my daughter is well looked after and if she has any problems they will help.

Parent of a child with SEND

The Reception Open Day really showed the school in a good light. The Headteacher showed us round and knew all of the pupil’s names. All of the children we met were friendly and polite but more importantly they were all smiling whilst learning.

Prospective Parent

Teachers are very helpful, friendly and approachable
