Dear Families,

I hope you had a fun filled half term and it is great to be back!

First I would like to reassure that, as far I am aware, the planned teacher strike next week will not be affecting either of our schools. As I mentioned before, there is no requirement for staff to share their plans in advance of the strike, so while it could change, I am not aware of any staff absence at present.

I have been asked to remind children about their ‘shoebox stories’ for World Book Day. Given how wonderful the jars were last year, I am really looking forward to seeing the creativity! Don’t forget Thursday 2nd March!

Sharing Assemblies for March will be Friday 17th March at Warthill and Friday 24th March at Sand Hutton. As always, we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.

I am afraid that news is a little thin on the ground this week until the half term gets into full swing so look out for visit letters as there are some in the planning which is always exciting. I will send a longer letter next week and hopefully some World Book Day photos from both schools.

Have a lovely weekend

With every best wish,

Beverley Pawson

Headteacher

Sand Hutton and Warthill Federated Schools
