A huge well done to all our Year 6 children for completing their SATs this week! 🎉

Today they also received their FOILS fully funded leavers’ hoodies — we hope they wear them with pride and enjoy this special reminder of their time at school.

A special thank you to Kathryn B for organising the sourcing and purchasing of the hoodies on behalf of FOILS. This is a brilliant example of how parent volunteers can help spread the load and support the amazing things FOILS provides for the school community 💙

You’re a star, Kathryn! ⭐
