Dear Parents and Carers,
Here we are at the end of another successful academic year. It’s always a funny time of the year: no one could imagine the final day being here 11 months ago when we started in September, but SO much has happened! Children in EYFS starting school are now fully fledged; Year 6 are at the end of their primary school journeys; 100s of children enjoying success in their classes and wondering what the next year holds, and I have managed a full year as Headteacher without burning the school down! It’s a happy time to reflect on everything that’s come our way and everything we have achieved or overcome together.
We are saying goodbye to 4 incredible members of staff who have been instrumental in forging Coleham’s place in our community, but also saying hello to new faces who will carry the torch onwards. Change is part of life and that’s what we all need to embrace to make the future strong. We want to celebrate those moving on, children and adults, as new adventures beckon and exciting new things are yet to be discovered. Good luck to everyone leaving Coleham school today: Coleham will always be part of you and you will always be part of Coleham!
As Chilli says to Bluey in ‘Camping’: it’s sad when good people come into your life, stay for a bit, but then have to leave isn’t it? But the part they were here for was good, and maybe that’s what makes it worthwhile.
Thank you to everyone who has said hello on the playground this year, supported us and helped to make COleham School such a lovely place to be.
Have a super summer, and we will see you in September!
Tom Larkham
Headteacher.
