Friday 11th July 2025
Dear Parent/Carer,
As we approach the end of this academic year, I write to wish you all a safe and healthy summer holiday and I look forward to welcoming the children back to school for the autumn term on Tuesday 2nd September 2025.
Final Days of Summer Term – Thursday 17th and Friday 18th July Years 1-6
During the last two days of the summer term, children should come to school in comfortable active wear. Children will be spending lots of time across the afternoon outside enjoying outdoor activities on the field with their friends. Note, there are no end of term class parties.
Children should be prepared for the expected weather conditions which includes wearing suncream, a sun hat and having refillable bottles of water.
The final day of the Summer Term is Friday 18th July at 3.15pm
Farewell to Year 6
To all our Year 6 Children who are going to be embarking on their next chapter in the ‘great book of lifelong learning’… I wish you all well as you transition to secondary school. I’m sure you will carry with you very fond memories of your time at Devonshire Hill and I am confident that you will go on to be Successful Learners in Year 7 and beyond.
September 2025:
Children in Nursery and Reception will have a staggered start back and each family will have now been notified of their start date for their child, if in doubt contact the school office.
The school will be closed to all families on Monday 1st September to accommodate an INSET for statutory staff training.
We will update our website across the summer holidays with any important information, so please make sure you regularly check at www.devonshirehill.com
On behalf of myself, the staff and the school Governors, have a lovely summer and we look forward to welcoming you all safely back to school on Tuesday 2nd September ready for the new academic year.
Yours sincerely
Julie D’Abreu | Headteacher
