Deputy Head. I am sure you will all want to join with us in congratulating Miss Haiselden on her
appointment as Deputy Head of our school. She takes up her appointment from September. This

SATs Week. All year 6 children will be sitting SATs tests every morning from 14 to 18 May. It is
vitally important that they attend every day and are on time to school. We cannot alter the times
of the tests or allow a child to take any test at another time, as it is controlled by law and the
rules are very strict. Please make sure that your child has plenty of fresh air and relaxation over
the next two weeks. Pupils will do their best when they are not anxious, and are feeling refreshed.

      meantime, would those who pledged to sponsor Stuart please send monies in to the office
