Today was Chris Jowett’s last day with us. We made sure he had a fitting send off in assembly today. As I said in my recent letter to you, we wish Mr Jowett all the best in his new role at Hatchlands Primary in Redhill. Mr Jowett has done a great job as Deputy at Yattendon and will be greatly missed by staff, parents and children alike.

 

Please remember that we break up on Thursday 21st December at 2:00pm. Please remind your children to bring PE kits and

lunchboxes home with them. The first day of the spring term is Thursday 4th January.

 We are delighted to tell you that work on the new all-weather pitch starts on Monday 11^th December. This should not be too disruptive, as the construction company know they need to avoid playtime and busy drop-off periods. Work should be completed by spring half term.

 

 

Congratulations to Connor (4P) who was the sole representative from Yattendon School at the South East Chess Championship in Richmond on Saturday. (Over 300 students participated.) The day was a rollercoaster of emotions starting with a draw, followed by a hard loss, a respectable loss and finally two wins. He did a great job in such a stressful and new environment we are very proud of him.
