Friday 13th January

Welcome Back

 

To the Mount Pleasant Primary School Family,

Welcome back to the new term. I hope you’ve all had a restful Christmas break with  your families and friends. The children have returned to school happy and ready to learn. They all look so smart in their school uniform, with excellent punctuality and attendance. I’ve already had to text numerous parents to share the wonderful learning taking place this week. I look forward to working with you all over the next term to provide the best opportunities for our Pupils.

I’d like to welcome Miss Zoe Watkins who is teaching our Year 1 Class, I’m sure you’ll all support her to settle in.

Happy New Year!

Miss Rutledge
