Dear Parents / Carers and Friends of Birtley House School,
We’ve had an amazing month.
The trip to Brands Hatch was incredibly successful. The children had such an exciting and interesting day, seeing the racing cars, the control room and garages. Many thanks to all the staff at Brands Hatch for making it such a memorable day for us.
We held o
ur first ever Sports Day on June 30th. A truly fantastic time was had by all. Every child participated in a range of events, some silly, some competitive and of course, parents and teachers joined in the races! We enjoyed strawberries and cream in the sunshine not to mention Mrs Mason’s delicious chocolate birthday cake for Miss Wiltshire. Well done to James who was the overall winner.
Achievement afternoon took place on 13th July, it was a chance to celebrate the amazing progress made by our pupils over the last six months. A particular well done to Ellie who received the award for 100% attendance. Staff and parents were all moved to tears in acknowledging the achievements of all our very special children.
We are excited to announce that from September we will be opening another class. We are proud to have recruited Mr M Tait to join our experienced and caring teaching team. We have also created two specialist rooms in the outside classrooms, a DT – science – art area and a creative play – music area. These spacious rooms allow our children to experience secondary type specialist rooms with all the relevant resources to hand.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last six months. We wish all parents, pupils and staff a restful summer and look forward to seeing you on the first day back, Tuesday September 6th.
Kind Regards,
Mrs Emma Sillitoe
