Dear Parents,
As we embark upon the summer term, I am delighted to share with you the remarkable achievements and experiences that have already enriched our school community.
The mini marathon on Friday exemplified the spirit of Phoenix Infant Academy, with our children demonstrating exceptional speed, determination and resilience. Their unwavering commitment to our school rule of "try your best" was evident as they navigated the 200-metre track, whether completing a single lap or surpassing the 2-kilometre mark. The anticipation builds as we eagerly await the announcement of the victorious Hero house on Friday, recognising the house team who collectively ran the greatest distance.
Our commitment to providing invaluable life experiences continues to flourish, as evidenced by our recent excursion to London. Another group of 20 Year 2 children had the privilege of witnessing the Sadlers Wells ballet company's mesmerising performance of Swan Lake. This brings the total number of Year 2 children who have ventured into the capital to an impressive 80. As we approach the conclusion of this academic year's London visits, our focus shifts to the future, with plans already underway to extend this enriching opportunity to our current Year 1 children when they progress to Year 2. Watch this space for more details!
As we enter the final stretch of the academic year, I cannot overemphasise the critical importance of consistent attendance. Every day spent in school is an opportunity for your child to engage with key learning experiences, directly impacting their attainment. I urge you to review your child's attendance report (emailed at the end of the SPring term) meticulously, particularly if their attendance falls below or risks falling below 90%. Your proactive efforts to ensure your child's daily presence at school are invaluable. To further incentivise attendance, I am pleased to announce the return of our annual chocolate challenge for the remainder of this term, details of which can be found below.
As always, many thanks for your continued support.
Miss Jarrett
Principal
