THE QUAINTON HERALD Issue 112 – 11th February 2022
HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE Dear Parents, We were delighted to see so many parents at the Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Drama production on Tuesday morning. The children performed with such confidence and a real sense of joy resonated throughout the hall. I must thank the children for all their hard work and for dancing so well, having had little practice performing in front of an audience. The whole school enjoyed the same performance on Wednesday morning and it certainly lifted everyone’s spirits. A huge thank you to Miss Shah! I would like to thank all those parents who attended the Headmaster’s briefing on Monday night. We were delighted to welcome Miss Haynes, the Head of John Lyon School, to the evening. The staff covered many topics during the evening and a summary of all that was discussed will be circulated to the parent body after half term. Needless to say, it was a very successful evening and it was the first opportunity for Miss Haynes and I to share with you our plans for the way forward following our merger. I would like to thank the staff who presented plans for their respective areas of responsibility and look forward to all that is to come. The EYFS has certainly moved forward with great strides this term. I am always impressed by the progress the children are making whenever I tour new parents and have the opportunity to look at the children’s books in the Reception class. Miss Sherr has certainly taken the department from strength to strength. We have produced a video of a ‘Day in The Life of Children in Reception’. We thought our parents might like to see it and hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ugu7hSnhBsHlGDvQH30pgq94yCuV98Xz/view?usp=drivesdk. On Friday, the School was treated to a superb singing performance from Year 6. It was fitting that our most senior year group closed this half term with a song, having completed their 11+ senior school entrance examinations. It was really moving to see all their smiles and collective enthusiasm as they conclude a busy and rewarding half term; my thanks to Mr Haswell.
