This last week of term has been so special! Christmas has really arrived at Sandygate. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing the Christmas story with their parents through their Nativity plays and this, along with the Christmas parties yesterday and the Christingle 'Christmas by Candlelight' this morning have given the school an atmosphere of celebration.
The staff team have been amazing, as always, this year and I would like to thank them for their continuing dedication, going the extra mile to provide nurture and wonderful learning opportunities for the children.
We are so blessed with the support of a wonderful parent body, and we have been warmed by your generosity this Christmas time. Not only in the form of the gifts that have been sent into school for the staff but also in the support through charitable giving. You will see below the phenomenal amount we have raised for the chosen charities this year.
We would also like to thank the PFA core committee for their continued support of our school. This is not only through the amazing amounts of money they raise for us (see their report below) but also the huge range of jobs they do from providing refreshments for Open Days and Nativities to making 180 Christingles. We really could not do what we do without them.
I would like to wish all our school families a happy, peaceful and healthy Christmas, and we are looking forward to seeing you all in 2022.
Mrs Reynolds
