THANK YOU, MISS BAKER
This week, we say a very special goodbye to someone who has been an absolute cornerstone of the Simon Balle PE Department.

Over the past two years, Miss Baker has been so much more than a member of our team, she has been the glue that has held so much together. ...From supporting the day-to-day running of PE lessons, fixtures and extracurricular clubs, to leading our Explorers programme, organising after-school provision for our primary pupils and helping deliver some of our biggest sporting events, she has done it all with endless enthusiasm, professionalism and a smile on her face.

What has made Miss Baker truly special, however, is the impact she has had on our students. Her caring, kind, compassionate and enthusiastic nature has enabled her to build wonderful relationships with pupils across the school. She has always gone above and beyond to support, encourage and inspire every child she has worked with.

Whilst we are incredibly sad to see her leave, we couldn't be prouder as she begins the next chapter, studying for a Sports Studies degree at university. We have no doubt that she has an incredibly bright future ahead of her. If there's one thing we know for certain, it's that she was born to work with young people in schools and will continue to make a huge difference wherever her journey takes her.

Thank you, Miss Baker, for everything you have given to Simon Balle PE. Your hard work, kindness and unwavering commitment have left a lasting legacy, and you will be missed by staff and students alike.

CELEBRATION
It's been an emotional final week for our wonderful Year 6 students. As they prepare to take their next steps, they've had time to reflect on their journey, celebrate all they've achieved, and enjoy so many special experiences together.

From laughter to ...tears, it's been a week filled with memories that will stay with them for years to come.

We're incredibly proud of each and every one of them.

PROUD
We are immensely proud of our Year 6 cohort and all they have accomplished this year. From their powerful performance of Macbeth to their impressive SATs achievements, they have demonstrated dedication, creativity, and resilience in every aspect of school life.

The year has been ...filled with unforgettable moments-including a joyful residential trip brimming with laughter and friendship, a Wonderstruck science day packed with 'wow' moments and a heartfelt farewell during our end-of-year assembly. As they move on to the next chapter of their educational journey, we send them off with pride, gratitude and our very best wishes for continued success and happiness.
