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,

April 2022

    Dear Parents/ Carers  

    I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our staff, pupils and their families back from your Easter holidays and hope it was restful, and you enjoyed the lovely weather.

    We had a very successful end of the term and pupils thoroughly enjoyed the end of term reward day. A big thank you to Mrs Osobo, for arranging the fun activities and all staff that made the day very special for our youngsters. Unfortunately, we could not go off site due to restrictions we were forced to impose but as promised it will be taking place early in this term. 

    As always, the Summer term is packed full of exciting events such as residential trips, not only for our year six pupils but for several year groups, transition events for our year six pupils, sports day/s, outdoor activities, Larwood’s Got Talent, year 6 performance, end of term rewards, and plenty more.  

    Our assembly schedule, to name a few, include:

    • International dance day
    • The Queens Platinum Jubilee 
    • Good work assembly and more.....

    I need to make you aware that we will be hosting parents' meetings this half-term, where class teams will share with you, your children’s progress, success and good work. You will have the option of meeting the teachers in person, by phone or virtually, more information will follow via email and class dojo.  

    It is with great sadness that we say our farewells to our CEO, Mr Sean Trimble who will be retiring at the end of April. Mr Trimble has been a pillar of strength for Larwood school and our Trust and will be greatly missed. His commitment to doing his best for our pupils, parents, community, trustees and staff and the impact he has had on people’s lives are immeasurable. His drive, enthusiasm, and commitment to create opportunities influenced a great number of people. We wish you and your family well in your future endeavours, and you will be greatly missed  

    BRING ON THE SUNSHINE! 

    Mr Van
