This term has seen many highlights, from exciting educational visits and residential experiences to sporting successes and whole-school celebrations. Our pupils have embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm, demonstrating resilience, confidence and a real love of learning.

​

We have also celebrated the dedication of our staff team through a special Staff Awards Evening. The fantastic response from families, with over 100 nominations received, reflected the positive relationships that make our school such a special place and showed how much our community values the care and commitment shown by staff every day. Miss Snow has also been awarded 'Teacher of the Year' across the Esteem Multi Academy Trust and Mrs Betteridge was the MATs overall winner of 'Making a Difference outside the Classroom'. 

​

We are delighted that the school has received recognition in several areas this year, including achieving the Gold School Games Mark, a 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating, the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Gold Award: Rights Respecting, the Inclusive Quality Mark (with centre of excellence status) and the Bronze Award for Relational and Restorative Practice. These achievements reflect the hard work of our pupils, staff and families, and demonstrate our commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive and enriching environment where every child can flourish.

​

Alongside these successes, we continue to invest in staff development, school improvement and pupil wellbeing to ensure that Fountains remains a nurturing, inclusive and ambitious environment where every child can thrive. We are also grateful for the ongoing support of our Governing Board and would like to welcome new members while thanking those who have completed their service for the valuable contributions they have made to the school.

​

As we reached the end of the academic year, we enjoyed a number of special events, including Sports Day, end-of-year celebrations and opportunities to recognise the many achievements of our pupils. We were particularly proud to celebrate our Year 6 pupils as they marked the end of their primary school journey and prepared for an exciting next chapter. We also wish Mrs Turner a happy retirement and wish Miss Farnley well in her new job at Ivy House school, you will both be missed.

​

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Fountains Primary School. Together, we have built a strong and caring community that puts children at the heart of everything we do. 

 

As another successful year comes to a close, we would like to thank all our pupils, families, staff, governors and wider community for their continued support. Your encouragement, involvement and partnership help make Fountains Primary School such a special place to learn and grow. 

​

We wish everyone a happy, restful and safe summer break and hope you enjoy spending time with family and friends.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back for our Open Afternoon on Friday 2nd September from 1:30pm. 

 

All pupils, families and members of our wider school community are warmly invited to come along and visit the school ahead of the new academic year. 

 

School will then reopen for all pupils at the normal time on Monday 7th September from 8.55am, following breakfast club which will start from the first day back to school. After school club will begin on Monday 12th September. 

​

Have a wonderful summer and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.
