As we approach the end of the school year, I just wanted to thank you for all your support and engagement over the course of the last term. It has been wonderful seeing so many of you at the various festive events that we have held, and this culminates in the 'Songs Around the Christmas Tree' event on the final school afternoon of 2024.

This week has been a very exciting time in school. It was wonderful seeing all of the children in church on Monday, attending the carol concert at St. Elphin's on Tuesday, and Christmas Dinner was a huge success enjoyed by the children and staff alike on Wednesday. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Bradshaw for making this such an enjoyable and fun time of year.

And finally, I would like to say a fond farewell to Mr. Short, and a big thank you to all the children who made his leaver's assembly on Wednesday such an enjoyable occasion. I know that you will join me in wishing Mr. Short and his family all the best, as they begin their new adventures.

It just remains for me to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

All the best,

Mr. Jason Heatley

Executive Headteacher
