December/Christmas 2025 Newsletter

Dear Parents and Carers,

Amazingly, we’ve already reached the end of the first term of this academic year, and what a busy and fun-filled term it’s been. This December we’ve been treated to pantos, workshops and some very festive gift wrapping by the children and elves!

We hope you all enjoyed watching the Christmas productions over the past few weeks. I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff team for the work and effort that goes into putting these performances together, whilst ensuring they continue to deliver our high quality curriculum at the same time. And also, a big thank you to the children for their brilliant speaking, singing and signing on stage! To see the children teach us about Christmas traditions from around the world through dance and song was a joyful experience. Another thank you goes to all the parents and carers who donated their spare change at the end of our Christmas productions. We raised a brilliant £488.02 which we will use towards purchasing a selection of additional resources for school.

Another thank you is also to you, as parents and carers, for your on-going support of the school and dedication to your children’s education. We are very much a team and your assistance in making sure your children arrive promptly and ready to learn is always appreciated.

And a final thank you from me to the whole Emmbrook community: Staff, PTA, parents and children, for a wonderful first term. This is a very special place to work, and I feel honoured to lead such a fantastic school.

We would like to wish you all a happy and restful Christmas holiday period, and we look forward to welcoming all of the children back to school for our start to the Spring term on Monday 5th January 2026!

With Warmest Wishes

Grace Massarella
