Huge congratulations to Miss Loftus and her partner Noel, who yesterday welcomed their new daughter Erin into the world. Welcome to the Summer Lane family Erin. 🥰

I hope you all have a lovely Easter! Miss you all lots! I’ve been loving TikTok and thought I’d try this dance. I’m encouraging all children, parents and staff to do their own version of this dance and tag us on Twitter!! Cant wait to see them! xx
First assembly of the school year done. Great to see all the boys and girls back in class. So many happy faces and lovely to see how quickly they have all settled into their new classes. 👍
One last well deserved Special Mention to end the half term for our parents and carers who have been helping with their child’s home learning. We do appreciate how hard it’s been at times. Hopefully soon we can take that job back off you! Have a great and safe half term. 👍
Special Mentions for excellent basketball and tennis skills, being excellent mentors at F2 Sports Day, great fact finding about the moon and super attainment and effort in KS2 SATs. Plus a very special mention to our very own superhero for his amazing bravery. 😊

One last video. It’s a bit of a silly one. The staff have been transformed into grumpy Santa’s and cheeky elves. See if you can work out who’s who!! It’s not as easy as you think. 🎅 Happy Christmas from all the staff at Summer Lane. 🎄
Today Linda our much loved SMSA and Nursery cleaner celebrated 30years working at Summer Lane. Thank you for everything Linda and let’s hope for many more years. 😁👍
Well that’s been a bombshell tonight. We completely understand the need for safety but at the same time we are all absolutely gutted for our children. Please check ClassDojo for further information. Many thanks and we will be in touch tomorrow with more guidance. 🥲
Brilliant carnival dinner today. Our pupils have absolutely loved it! So many clean plates! Once again many thanks to our superb kitchen staff. 🎉

Unfortunately with more snow forecast and with a limited number of staff who can get in to school, for the safety of the children Summer Lane will be closed today. Thank you for your support.
Today was the last day for our y6 bubbles so we held them a socially distanced celebration to say goodbye and good luck at high school. Thank you for being such a wonderful year group and sorry it wasnt quite the goodbye you were expecting. There were still lots of smiles 😊
As we can’t welcome you into school at the minute to watch our Christmas concerts, each class has produced a little Christmas video. We’ll share all these with you over the next few days. Hopefully they will give you a bit of Christmas cheer. Here is Class 8’s video.
