As many of you may be aware, Mrs Biggs left us yesterday as she retires after 28 years at Ecclesall Junior School and then at the primary school (as well as years teaching elsewhere before she came to S11). That is a huge number of children that she will have taught, cared for and nurtured over the years. The staff held a lovely celebratory lunch for her and Mrs Hardy presented her gifts. The staff also sang a song to the tune of Dancing Queen (we are pleased to say that no video footage of the singing exists)!
We wish her all the very best for a long and exciting reiterment xxx

As the dust settles on another academic year, it is time to reflect....
Never easy to say goodbye, but exciting times lie ahead for our Y6 pupils heading off to secondary schools in September - congratulations to all of them on their achievements at EPS and we wish them all the very best for the future.
A fitting farewell included a Leavers' Assembly for them and their parents/supporters and then the whole school sang to them on the bank before the traditional archway of teachers and the handing out of their scroll.

Not that it is all about the SATS results we received this morning (showing that huge numbers of our children will be starting their secondary school careers with a very solid academic grounding) but...we are very proud of our Y6 children and think that they really deserve a magnificent Leavers' Party (thanks to the EPTFA). Preparations fully underway - more photos to follow!
