A note from the Principal

Dear Parents,

Congratulations to all our students who took part in the magnificent Patana Primary Concert! It was a wonderful showcase of their musical talents honed through the ECA programme. Thank you to the Creative Arts team for all the hard work that went into this.

Next week is our final week of the term and hasn’t this year flown by! I look forward to the last assemblies of the year, including the Y6 leavers assembly, and our Y4 Readers Theatre event on Thursday.

Finally, don’t forget to complete our annual survey if you haven’t already as it closes today. Here is the Survey link
