Welcome to our final weekly newsletter of the Summer Term and the 2025–26 academic year. It has been another busy, successful and memorable year, and both our children and staff have so much to be proud of. From academic achievements and sporting successes to the many enriching experiences enjoyed throughout the year, it has been wonderful to see our school community thrive. There is just one final week of school remaining before the summer break, and we look forward to ending the year on a positive note. As a reminder, school will finish at 1:30pm next Friday for all pupils.

As we approach the end of the year, we would also like to wish our Year 6 children and their families the very best of luck as they begin the next exciting chapter of their journey at high school in September. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved during their time at Harris Primary School and have no doubt that they will continue to flourish, embrace new opportunities and make us proud in the years ahead.

Finally, on a personal note, this will be my last newsletter as Headteacher of Harris Primary School as I prepare to begin a new role in September. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of such a wonderful school community over the past ten years. I would like to thank our dedicated staff, fantastic pupils and supportive families for the kindness, encouragement and support you have shown me throughout my time here. I am truly grateful for the many kind words, cards and thoughtful gifts that I have received in recent weeks. Harris Primary School will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I leave with many happy memories and immense pride in all that we have achieved together. I wish the school and everyone connected to it every success and happiness for the future.

Thank you for your continued support throughout the year, and I wish all of our families a happy, safe and restful summer holiday.

Year 6 Spectacular Performance

A huge well done to our Year 6 children and staff team for their brilliant performance of Oliver with a Twist on Thursday. The children were fantastic, showing so much confidence, enthusiasm and talent on stage, and it was wonderful to see all of their hard work pay off. Thank you to the staff team for giving up their time to help bring the production to life. It was a fantastic afternoon and evening enjoyed by everyone and a wonderful way to celebrate our Year 6 pupils as they get ready for their next adventure. 👏🎭🌟
