Welcome Back to a New Academic Year at Larwood!

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we kick off the new school year, I want to extend a warm welcome to all of our returning families and those joining Larwood for the first time. With all our pupils now on roll, it’s been incredible to see how well everyone has settled in and the fantastic energy that’s filling our classrooms and playgrounds.

The first half of the term has been nothing short of amazing! Our students have been actively engaged in a variety of enriching activities—from our thrilling pantomime to energetic djembe drumming sessions, forest school adventures, and some inspiring work in PE. It’s been wonderful to see everyone’s hard work and enthusiasm in every corner of the school.

Looking ahead, there’s much to anticipate this half term! Mrs Longcroft and the children are putting in great effort for our annual Christmas production, which will be held at 2 p.m. on December 12th—we look forward to seeing many of you there! Additionally, we’ll be supporting Children in Need on November 15th, a day that always brings joy and unity to our school community.

This year, we are also working toward achieving the “Super Kind” Award, an initiative led by Mrs. MacGuinness, which reinforces our commitment to kindness and respect across the school. We were delighted to see everyone come together this week for the “Four Parks Clean-Up,” a fantastic example of our pupils’ dedication to their community.

In even more exciting news, Larwood is expanding our reach through a new satellite provision called Pathways, which will support students across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. We are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Bayliss, Miss Boulton, and Mrs. McCLean to our Larwood team to lead this project.

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance. We are here to support you and your child every step of the way, and we look forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Best wishes,

October 2018

  • #2 October 2018 - The Momentum Has Begun!

    BLOG #2 A warm October and a stunning start to the year! A quick note to keep you updated on how things are progressing at Larwood. Pupils have settled in really well, and this includes new pupils that may have only been with us for a few weeks. We have seen many make some notable progress in comparison to how things may have been before they joined us. Thank you to all parents for your support with this.

    So far this year, we have had a group of Year 6 pupils attend a fantastic charity fishing trip (they all caught or shared their fish with each other), an amazing McMillan Coffee morning with over 30 parents in attendance, some Pobble Time Travel workshops for pupils supporting writing, and had a visit from Captain Morgan! The latter making Maths a little bit more fun for some of our pupils. 

    Our residential consultation closed on September 28th and all information relating to this will now be processed, and collated so that the Governing Body can make a final decision on Tuesday 16th October. I will pass this decision, as soon as I can.

    POLITE REMINDER
