Dear Parents,

I can’t believe that I am writing my final newsletter to you-this year has flown by at an alarming rate! I feel very privileged to have worked with such a great school community over the last 20 years. I will take so many lovely memories with me and Monkfrith will always be a part of me. Thank you for your good wishes, I wish you and your families the very best for the future and I know that Monkfrith will continue to be a brilliant school at the heart of the community. Have a wonderful, relaxing summer break.

With love to you all

Jeanette Adak

FOMS Update

The FOMS Committee would like to say a big thank you to all of the parents, children, teachers and wider school community for a stellar year of events and fundraising. We've be able to really support the school in a variety of ways and that would not have been possible without you!

FOMS will be back to business as usual from September. If you are interested in joining our fun and friendly committee of parents who are at the heart of organising events for the school, then please get in touch! September is an excellent time to join as we begin to plan our events for the year. Please email us at FriendsofMonkfrithSchool@gmail.com if you are interested in joining the committee or would like more information about what is involved.

Thank you again and have a great summer!!
