Newsletter 10-07-2026

Welcome to this week’s newsletter, which includes important updates and celebrates key achievements from across our school community. Please click here for a letter from Mr. Buttery outlining the leadership arrangements that will be in place from September 2026.

Please may we remind all parents/carers to contact the school office if their child would like a school packed lunch on the day of the school trip to Bridlington beach, otherwise we will presume that they will bring their own lunch.

Thank you!We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to both Kara and Mary for the pivotal role they have played within the PTA. Their enthusiasm, commitment and dedication to raising funds for enriching educational experiences and enjoyable activities for the children of Elvington have been truly exceptional.

So many opportunities and experiences simply would not have been possible without their tireless support. We are sure you will join the staff team in expressing our sincere gratitude as they come to the end of their time with the PTA.

Newsletter 26-06-2026

Welcome to this week’s newsletter, which includes important updates and celebrates key achievements from across our school community. Please click here for our key dates for the summer term. These dates are subject to change and we will communicate any amendments as soon as possible.

  • We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Mini Marathon today at 2:00pm. Families are very welcome to join us; please feel free to bring foldable chairs if you wish.
  • As with earlier in the week, the weather conditions will be carefully taken into account. The Mini Marathon route has been shortened, children will be encouraged to walk or jog rather than run, water stations will be available throughout the course and, in light of these
    adaptations, we will not be recording the number of laps completed this year.
  • To further minimise children’s exposure to the hottest part of the afternoon, the event will finish considerably earlier than our usual end of day time.
  • The safety and wellbeing of all participants remains our priority, and staff will continue to monitor conditions closely throughout the event. We look forward to seeing you there!
