Dear KIS Community,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Well done and thank you to all the staff who took part in the Christmas flash mob yesterday, it really was the perfect way to lead us into the holidays. We also had the opportunity to enjoy our KS4&5 musical creativity, with thanks to Ms Tretter for organising the virtual performances.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The end of term assemblies were a wonderful celebration of our students\u2019 achievements, of which there have been so many. My thanks and appreciation to Ms Hitchen and Mrs Renshaw for organising these. Thank you also to our PTASC for organising the Christmas cookies again and we were delighted that Santa and his Helpers were able to get through immigration and quarantine in time to be able to deliver some cheer (and cookies) around the school.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The last day of school was as it should be, an enjoyable festivity of all the hard work our students and staff have been doing over this past term. I have nothing but gratitude for all the tremendous efforts of our growing community. We look forward to many new families and returning families joining us in the New Year.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wherever you will be for the holidays I wish you and your families a safe and wonderful break. We will see you in the New Year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n
