  • End of Term

    Fri 20 Dec 2024 A Noor

    As we approach the festive season and the end of another busy term, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredibly productive and rewarding period for our school community.

     

    This term has been filled with achievements, growth, and moments of joy. From the impressive performances at our recent events to the hard work and dedication shown in the classroom, it has been wonderful to witness the collective effort of our pupils, staff and families.

     

    I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you - our pupils for their enthusiasm and determination, our staff for their unwavering commitment to excellence, and our parents and carers for your continued support and partnership. It is this shared dedication that makes our school the vibrant and nurturing place that it is.

     

    As we celebrate this special time of year, I encourage everyone to take a well-deserved break, enjoy time with loved ones, and cherish the joy and hope that this season brings.

     

    On behalf of the Governing Body, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all staff, parents and pupils at Gifford Primary a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Have a lovely Winter break!

    Last Friday, we had an absolutely spotacular day raising an incredible £524 for Children in Need! A huge thank you to everyone who joined in with our "Spotacular" theme, dressing in fun and creative spotty clothes to show support for Pudsey Bear. From polka-dotted outfits to dotted accessories, it was wonderful to see so many people getting involved for such a great cause.

     

    Your generosity and enthusiasm have made a real difference, and together, we’ve helped contribute to the ongoing work of Children in Need, supporting children who need it most. Whether you donated, dressed up, or simply showed your support, you’ve played an important part in making this event a success.

     

    Thank you again to everyone who took part, and here's to continuing to make a difference in the lives of children in need!
