Dear Parents & Carers,

Good morning, I hope this letter finds you all well and that you have all had a good weekend.

Sun Protection

The temperatures this week are looking like they will remain in the 20’s so please can I remind everyone to please ensure their child is sent into school with adequate sun protection and a hat if they are intending on heading out for the walking club.

New School Staff

Over recent weeks, we have welcomed some new staff into the school in various positions and so I wanted to let parents know who they are and what their role is.

Jade Palmer has joined us and will be our new Office Administrator. Ella Wilson has been appointed as a new Teaching Assistant and Nick Davis has also been appointed as an HLTA to help with Outdoor Education and PE.

Finally, I have appointed an Attendance Officer and Family Liaison. Aimee Heaney, who has lots of experience dealing with people in her previous roles will be looking at supporting in improving attendance across the school as well as being a key point of contact for parents and carers.

Aimee will be calling all parents during this week to introduce herself and explain a little about her role.

We wish all our new colleagues much success in their new roles and welcome them to the Armley Grange family.

2025/26 Term Dates

I will be in a position by the end of this week to update the website with next years term dates. Some parents have asked recently when this will be out, and once I have sent it to all of our Local Authorities I will update the website.

I hope you have a lovely week,

Best wishes,

James
