Dear Parents,

Happy New Year.  I hope you all had a good festive period.

It was lovely to welcome all the children back on Monday ready to take on the challenges of the new year.

Two exciting challenges are:  On Friday 30th January Merlins will be performing at Buxton Opera House as part of their Dance Festival.  Tickets are available from the Opera House. On Saturday 7th March Harriers and Eagles will be performing with Kinder Children’s Choir at Buxton Pavillion Gardens at 3pm tickets will be available from school nearer the date.

I am very pleased to be able to tell you that Mrs McLaren is out of her protective boot and is hoping, not hopping, to be able to gradually start back at school.  We are very fortunate that Mrs Beedle is willing and able to keep teaching Kites class during this phased return.

Clubs restart next week except Gardening Club which will need to wait until the lighter nights.  There have been a few changes to out of school clubs, rugby club on Thursday will now be running club and Mr Warburton’s Monday club will now be an arts and crafts club.
