This week, our pupils have been informed of their next class for the academic year for 2018-19. With this information, they have already visited their new class and teacher on Wednesday morning. This first session was a huge success as the children met with new and old friends as well as getting to know the staff who will support them. For some, this is a change of Key Stage and for others, a change in expectation as they become the oldest pupils in the academy. What about the Year 6, you ask. Well, they have become our Huntingtower Helpers. After nearly 7 years with us, they have become willing volunteers completing jobs that will benefit the whole academy. It appears that there is quite a list and they are happy to oblige. They have been a wonderful group of leaders and whilst we are pleased that they are about to start a new and exciting step in their educational journey, they will be missed.

We’re now just a week away from the Summer Fayre. Hopefully, you’ve received raffle tickets through your child, please remember that tickets and monies need to be returned by Friday, 29^th June. I know that the children love a non-uniform day and thanks again for your contributions. We hope you can join the Friends of Huntingtower and staff on Saturday, 30^th June. Keep your fingers crossed that this lovely, warm weather continues so that we can make the most of the day.
