End of term Headteacher letter - end of Autumn 2
Fri 19 Dec 2025Dear Parents and Carers of Glade Hill,
As we approach the end of this half-term, it is time to stop and reflect on what an amazing half-term it has been. I would like to say a huge thank you to all the children, staff, parents and carers for your ongoing support. We couldn’t do it without you. By working together, we will make sure that Glade Hill continues to thrive and go from strength to strength.
This half term we again held our Special Awards Assemblies where we celebrate children across the school who have consistently shown progress and acted as role models in the following areas: Golden Behaviour, SPARKLY Learning and Always (Golden and SPARKLY). This time we also celebrated our Nursery children for the first time, which was lovely. Well done to all the winners.
Photos of them can be seen on our school website Home | Glade Hill Primary School and X (Twitter) @gladehillschool.
We have also just finished our Christmas performances for each phase from Nursery to Year 6 and what a fantastic job the children (and staff) have done! Thank you to our FRoGs for preparing the Hampers for our Christmas Raffles and supporting the selling of refreshments at the performances. Every penny raised goes towards supporting school activities and buying equipment to enhance the children’s school experience such as the recently purchased visualisers for each classroom, new class library books and playground equipment.
We also held our first ‘Winter Fair’ in many years which was a great success, and we raised over £600.00 for school funds which all goes towards supporting your children. Thank you to everyone who came, contributed and organised this great event.
Finally, at the end of this term, I wanted to let you know that there will be some changes to staffing. We wish Mrs Dean from EYFS the best of luck in her new career and also welcome back Mrs Lineker (AHT) as she returns to school in January following her maternity leave.
This term has included a huge variety of events from in-class learning and parent/carer drop-ins to half-term themes, from new Winter trips to visitors in school. Here are a few memorable moments! These are all designed to enhance the children’s learning across the National Curriculum, our Glade Hill Curriculum and also celebrate our fantastic Glade Hill community.
I hope you all enjoy the festivities until the end of term and please accept my best wishes for a very happy Christmas and a peaceful winter break.
See you back in school on Monday 5th January!
Kindest regards,
Mrs Stapleton - Headteacher
