Dear Dorchester Families,
As we reach the end of term, I want to thank you all for the wonderful contribution you make to the life of our school. At this time of year, staff receive a multitude of gifts as parents show their gratitude for all they do - but more valuable than this are the wonderful comments we receive from parents and children alike, whether given verbally, written in emails or included in Christmas cards. We recognise, though, that we couldn't achieve half of what we do without the fantastic support we get from our parents and carers - from providing nativity costumes and helping on trips to supporting with 'dip and do' tasks; we are truly grateful.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful holiday. For those who celebrate Christmas, I hope yours is full of peace and joy.
We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Tuesday 9th January.
Kind regards
Cathy Bell
Headteacher
