Welcome Back! – a very Happy New Year to you and your families, we hope that you’ve all enjoyed the festivities over the holidays!
It has been lovely to see all the children excited to be back at school and seeing all their friends after the Christmas break.
This week we welcomed Laia to Y2, who has settled in nicely over the last few days, we also welcomed Gabriel to Nursery on Wednesday. We are sure they will both be very happy here at Leck.

Class Newsletters – please find attached a separate infant and junior class newsletter giving you specific information on the focus of studies for this term.

School Times – as a polite reminder school starts at 9am and finishes at 3.15pm. The doors are open from 8.50am and all children should be in school ready for lessons by 9am. If children arrive after 9am, they should enter via the office door.
Please can we encourage all parents to leave children at the classroom door and refrain from entering the classroom to assist children in taking off coats and shoes – we are trying to encourage independence.
