I hope you are well and enjoyed the summer break albeit with a mixed bag of weather.  

Staff have been busily preparing for the beginning of the Autumn Term and completedin-service training (INSET) on Tuesday to prepare for the childrens return yesterday.

Thank you for ensuring the children have returned to school looking so smart in their uniforms. It can be tricky to find shoes and all the right sized clothing especially when we know they will grow out of it so quickly! If you have struggled to obtain any part of your childs uniform and need any help, please contact the School Office. We dont use any branded uniform; we try hard to keep prices low to make it affordable for all our families.  

Harrowbarrow

A warm welcome to the staff, children and parents of Harrowbarrow Primary who officially joined the Trust on 1st September. We look forward to working with you.

Copper Valley

We are also pleased to announce that Delaware and Gunnislake have now officially moved to become Copper Valley Infant and Nursery Academy, and Copper Valley Junior Academy. The name change arose to keep both schools viable, working together with one head teacher. There is a visible change across the schools and lovely to see the children in their new uniform with their new logo designed by one of the pupils.  

Pupil Results

Formal assessments have taken place in EYFS, Year 1 phonics check, Year 2, Y4 multiplication tables test and Year 6 SATs. We are extremely proud of the children and staff as headline figures show the Trust is significantly higher than the national averages in many areas. Our continued aim is to ensure all children are where they need to be in the next 12 months, ready to move to their next phase.

Thank you for your continued support as the Autumn Term begins, we have enjoyed welcoming the children back to school this week. We look forward to a successful first half term. 

With all good wishes,

Adrian Massey and everyone in Bridge Schools
