Head teacher blog Dec 18th 2020
We have made it to the end of an exceptional term. Despite difficult circumstances, our school has been successful with happy children, positive progress and good attendance.
I would like to give so much credit to our staff for the flexibility, creativity, resilience and care that they have shown in 2020. I would like to commend the children for their hard work and good humour. I would like to thank our governors for their commitment, wisdom and support. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to our parents for their wide-ranging role in our children’s and school’s success. The PTA have even managed to raise a record amount for the term despite not having been able to run ‘real’ events – that is just one way in which our school community have shown their support and generosity towards the school this year. Thank you!
We have not been able to have our usual Christmas events, but I thought you might like to see our ‘Makaton Christmas’ performances: https://sites.google.com/farsleyfarfield.org.uk/makaton-christmas2020/home These are large videos so please be patient and don’t use up all your 4G data!
We expect to be open as usual on Monday 4th January. We are not involved in the very recentlyannounced arrangements for high schools – I doubt their staff will get a great holiday…
Have a great Christmas break: stay safe.
