Autumn Term 2 (18.12.20) Newsletter Number 7

Welcome to the final newsletter of Term 2. I would like to thank you for all for your support during 2020. I understand that

it has been a very difficult time for many in our community.

I am incredibly proud of my colleagues who have all gone above and beyond what is reasonably expected of them since the

start of the pandemic to ensure that the children are able to continue with their education.

The children never cease to amaze me! Their enthusiasm, adaptability and resilience throughout this pandemic has been

an example to us all!

I feel saddened that not everyone will be able to celebrate Christmas in the normal way this year but look forward to and

am hopeful of 2021.

On behalf of everyone at Cheddar Grove Primary School I would like wish you all a happy and safe Christmas.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Tuesday 5th December 2021!

Paul Jeffery

(Headteacher)

Lee Milton (Site Assistant) will also be leaving at the end of term and we would like to thank him for all that he has done for

the school.
