Dear Parents and Guardians,

On behalf of the staff at St Brides Major CW Primary School, I am delighted to welcome you to the school. I look forward to a productive partnership with parents new and old. I recognise that in order to be successful, your children need support from both home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference to your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for your children’s success and I want you to know that we take our part in this seriously and will do everything we can to make sure your children make excellent progress, have a lot of fun and develop a ‘Love of Learning for Life’ whilst they are in St Brides.

My number one priority is to ensure that St Brides consistently promotes the very highest academic standards set in a happy caring Christian environment. Children only get one education and I am determined to ensure that students who attend St Brides enjoy their primary education, make excellent progress and leave school equipped with the skills and appetite for lifelong learning. I will strive to work with you all to build upon the unique strengths at St Brides, and the excellent practices that already exist to continue to move the school forward.

My expectations of the pupils, in terms of their achievement and behaviour, are very high. I expect all members of the school community to uphold the values of respect, tolerance, courtesy and cooperation. Your support in reinforcing high expectations is very much valued.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding your child please contact me. I will be only too happy to help. Whatever your concern is, however big or small please let me know. Despite some restrictions our open door policy is a very important feature of the school. My wonderful staff and I are very much looking forward to working with you all over the year ahead. Enjoy the year.

Kind Regards,

Mr D Mottram
