Happy New Year
Welcome back. We hope you all had a fantastic break and if you celebrated Christmas, enjoyed the festivities. We would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and all the very best for 2025.
We have had a fabulous first week back at school; everybody has settled really well and each class is enjoying their new curriculum topics. It has been so lovely to see how enthusiastic the children are and how purposeful each classroom is.
Morningside is pleased to welcome two new members of teaching staff: Panda Cox in 5S and Elizabeth Buckle in 1S. We are very happy to have gained two excellent and experienced members of staff to our team. We’d also like to welcome two teaching apprentices to Morningside this half term, Mimi Bilgetay in 4M and Saida Ibrahim in 2M.
As the weather is now very cold, please make sure your child is wearing a coat to school each day and that it has their name clearly marked inside. Please do make sure that the children are wearing the correct uniform to school and that they wear their PE kit to school on PE days.
We’d also like to thank you for your messages of support for our new roles at Morningside – we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead.
