Stanmore Post - 20 December 2019

Dear Parents, 

There have been many opportunities for us to celebrate the achievements of the children this term. There is an excellent range of work on our school website showing a variety of irresistible learning across the school from Royalty to Raiders and Traders to the Tower of London.

I enjoyed ‘A Wriggly Nativity’ held at Level 10 Church earlier in the week. The performance was of a very high standard and the wonderful personalities of the children in Catkins really shone through. We have had some lovely musical moments from our choir and our range of musicians across the school culminating in assemblies, the Christchurch Service and Carols in the Courtyard today. We will continue to develop opportunities for children to have their moment to shine. They were so keen to please their audience so thank you for supporting them. You can view a Stanmore Christmas at https://www.stanmore.hants.sch.uk/news/2019/12/20/wishing-everyone-the-best-this-christmas

This week we said farewell to Mrs. Ruddick-Smith. Mrs. Ruddick-Smith has taken the decision to leave Stanmore after 7 years of teaching. She will be leaving at the end of this term for new opportunities. I am sure that you will want to join me in wishing her all the best for her future, as well as thanking her for the positive contribution that she has made to the school.

We are continuing to develop our ‘Keys for Success.’ They are respect, organisation, persistence, resilience, confidence and co-operation. From time to time over the Christmas period, I am sure that you will notice these in action.

I have enjoyed my first year at Stanmore Primary School. It is a pleasure to belong to this school and I would like to sincerely thank the children and the staff, Governors, parents and Friends of Stanmore.

I hope that you all have a peaceful and happy Christmas.

Best Wishes

Sharon Taylor
