Dear Families,
How is it possible that we are heading into the latter half of November and preparing for Christmas? While we are on the subject of Christmas, could I ask that you have a little chat with older children, fresh with new found knowledge regarding ‘Santa Truth’, and ask them to remember to keep the magic for our younger children. Thank you.
This week has seen the turn of Sand Hutton to have Parents’ Evening. It was a very enjoyable evening and a great chance to catch up with families. Thank you to all those who attended.
I have a couple of links to share with you. Our Ofsted report is now live on the Ofsted website and we are every proud to have featured in the York Press this week too.

Warthill Infant Class chose a VERY rainy, miserable day for their woodland adventure. It certainly didn’t dampen their spirits though! They returned full of their morning and smelling like a bonfire…..toasted marshmallows had been on the menu!
This week coming, Class 1 at Sand Hutton are looking forward to the Bird of Prey Centre visiting with a variety of birds. I know that they are very excited about this. Finally, where visits are concerned, we are expecting a visiting theatre group on Monday 5th December. The group will be performing for both schools at Sand Hutton and a bus is booked to take the whole of Warthill School over on that afternoon. I think this will mark the start of our lead up to Christmas. We can’t wait! (And that’s just the adults!)
Can I also take the opportunity to remind anyone at Warthill who wants to understand more about phonics and blending, that Mrs Liston and Mrs Wilson are holding a meeting at Warthill on Tuesday next week at 9am.
We hope you have a good weekend and that the weather is kinder than of late,
With every best wish,
Beverley Pawson,
Headteacher
Sand Hutton and Warthill Federated Schools
