Welcome Back!

Welcome back to you all, children and parents alike! I hope you had a great summer break and are ready and raring for a new academic year. The Sainfoin team are looking forward to seeing everyone again and supporting your children to flourish in Upper Key Stage 2. There will be additional opportunities this year, so please keep an eye out for these. If you have any concerns or if there is anything you think I need to know or would liek to share, including achievements, please feel free to email in the usual way.
