AUTUMN 1
Welcome to Year 1!
A warm welcome back to the 2024 – 2025 academic year.
The Staff working with your children this year are:

We hope you and your families have enjoyed a lovely summer holiday. Autumn 1 is a term of new beginnings, new classrooms, new teachers, new friends and new learning. It is a busy, exciting time and we are sure our children in Year 1 will settle brilliantly and have a fantastic first half term.
There will be lots of information for you, our parents and carers, so please look out for messages on SCHOOLSBUDDY as this is our main means of communication.
Please take time to look at X where we will show you the learning and experiences taking place in school. Please tell us if you do not wish your child to appear on social media or our website.
Please feel free to speak to us at the gate in the mornings or after school and do not hesitate to contact us on info@stjohnsrc.net should you have any queries.
