  • Welcome to Year 3

    Published 16/07/26

    From the whole Year 2 team, we can say that it has been an absolute pleasure to teach all of the children in Year 2. It has been amazing to watch them grow in confidence, maturity and independence as they have prepared for the exciting step into Key Stage 2.

    The children have worked incredibly hard this year and should be very proud of all they have achieved. They have shown enthusiasm, resilience and kindness throughout the year, embracing new challenges and supporting one another every step of the way. It has been a joy to see their personalities shine and to celebrate their many successes.

    We know the children are ready for the exciting adventure that Year 3 will bring. They will have new opportunities, new challenges and lots of wonderful learning experiences, and we are confident they will continue to flourish. We wish every child the very best of luck as they begin this next chapter.

    Have an amazing summer.
