Current value/attribute: Thoughtfulness Mrs. Quigley’s weekly message: The end of summer term is here, and I just cannot believe it! Time has flown; it seems like just a moment ago that we were starting the year off in September. This year we have had lots to celebrate and enjoy from wonderful trips, to exciting learning, to whole school community events. I would struggle to pick my favourite part, however, the most notable thing for me has been seeing the children come into school every day, always trying their best and growing so much throughout the year. Just last week we enjoyed the Olympics Celebration and that for me is everything that Park Road is about—community, teamwork, enjoyment and enthusiasm. The way our children work together is lovely and we are so lucky to have each and everyone of them with us. Our Year 6 children have today enjoyed their final day in school, signing shirts, having a pizza lunch and enjoying an ice cream celebration. Over the last 7 years, we have watched them grow and develop and become the brilliant young people they are today. Last night and this morning, we enjoyed a wonderful performance of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ and I couldn’t have been more proud. I know there were a few tears, including from the staff, but we cannot wait to see them go off and fly and shine like the stars we know they are, in whatever their future holds. Year 6 please do keep in touch and let us know about everything you go on to do— never forget how amazing you are! I mustn’t end the year without saying a huge thank you to the wonderful staff, who every day aim to provide the best possible experience of education for your child, frequently going above and beyond. Everyone works so hard from preparing and teaching lessons, to organising events, to cooking the lunches, and I know you will join me in saying a big thank you. Mrs Walker-Wiggans sadly leaves us today, to take up a new position elsewhere. We wish her the best of luck, and know she will be amazing in her new role. And finally, a very big thank you to all of our families—our school community is the wonderful place it is because of you. Whether that is because you are part of our PFA (who are amazing and do so much for school!), you support with trips, events or home learning, or you always have a smile or chat on the gate in the morning. I wish you all an enjoyable, safe and hopefully sunny summer and we will look forward to seeing you at 8:35 on Wednesday 4 September!. Best Wishes, Mrs Q
