Dear Families,
We are excited to invite all children to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge 2026 – Read to the Beat!
This year's challenge celebrates the joy of reading through music, rhythm, and creativity. Children can join the challenge at their local library and enjoy a summer filled with fantastic books, exciting activities, and special rewards as they progress through their reading journey.
How does it work?
Visit your local library to sign up for the challenge.
Borrow and read books throughout the summer.
Collect rewards and incentives as you complete reading milestones.
Receive a certificate and medal (subject to local library arrangements) when you finish the challenge.
Why take part?
The Summer Reading Challenge helps children:
Maintain and improve their reading skills over the summer holidays.
Discover new authors, genres, and interests.
Build confidence and a lifelong love of reading.
Enjoy free activities and events at their local library.
We encourage all children to take part and keep reading throughout the summer break. Whether they enjoy fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, audiobooks, or poetry, every book counts!

Let's make this summer one full of stories, imagination, and music. We look forward to hearing about your children's reading adventures when they return to school in September.
Happy reading!
Kind regards

Dear Families
Following last week's heatwave, we have returned to usual school uniform this week. Should temperatures climb once again, we will write to inform you of any further relaxation in the dress code.
Many thanks for your continued support.

WBPTFA Summer Fair
In light of the extreme heat tomorrow afternoon and the letter re. school attendance tomorrow, we have made the decision to move the summer fair to 8.45am to be held at West Butterwick CE Primary Academy (not the village hall). This will enable the fair to still go ahead, but at the coolest time of the day.
Children can then come into school for registration at 8.35am before attending the fair, either with family members or school staff. Parents may then take children home straight after the fair should you so wish - please just let us know if you are doing this.
A huge thank you to the PTFA for their support and flexibility at exactly 24 hours notice - we really do appreciate it!
Many thanks for your understanding and continued support.
Kind regards

Good morning families
We have been asked by Dame Rachel de Souza, Children’s Commissioner for England to share with you the following. Please can we ask where possible the survey is completed, thank you.
As the Children’s Commissioner, I am asking for your support in ensuring children and young people from your school take part here:
childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigfuture.
It is crucial that I hear from children in every school and college, in every community, across the country. Without hearing from your students, their experiences, views and aspirations risk being missing from the national picture that will help shape future policy.
At a time of significant change for children and young people, it is more important than ever that their views are reflected in policy making. Through this survey, I can take the voices of our students directly to the centre of government.
Thank you so much for your support.
Dame Rachel de Souza
Children’s Commissioner for England
