I cannot believe I am sitting here at the end of term having broken up for the Christmas break! It has certainly been a busy one and being the Headteacher has been harder than I could ever have imagined but equally, it has been so rewarding and I want to thank you for all of the support and kind words that I have had from so many of you.

Little Heath really is a lovely place to work and we do all we can to ensure that our children feel happy and secure in their time with us. The Christmas build up is one of the times in the year where we get to do so many fun and exciting things and this last couple of weeks has been no exception to that. The Foundation Stage and KS1 performances and the KS2 Carol Concert were both very well attended and were a joy to watch the children perform and sing in. I wish to thank all of you who contributed to the collection after the Carol Concert as we have been able to send off a donation to the Make A Wish Foundation of just over £293 which is a fantastic amount of money and will no doubt be very well received! It never ceases to amaze me how generous you all are and I am very proud to say that as a community we help to raise such large amounts of money to support so many good causes.

Thank you for all of the cards and presents that I have been given –I did tell some children earlier today that I will be coming back at least a stone heavier after the break!

I hope that you all have a lovely Christmas and New Year and we will see you all on Tuesday 7^th January.
