Emotions ran high on on Friday as pupils, staff and parents celebrated the last day of term with mixed feelings. Children and staff were excited to break up for the Summer Holidays but we also had to say farewell to Year 6 pupils leaving for secondary school and staff retiring or leaving for new jobs. An inspirational Leavers' Assembly found Year 6 reminiscing about their time at our school that included memorable moments and moving stories about the close friendships that they have forged. It's always difficult to say goodbye but we're so proud of the progress that the children have made academically and socially in their time at Hacton.
It was not only the children bidding a fond farewell, many staff also said goodbye: Mrs Lynch, Mrs Delmonte, Miss Bragg, Miss Peoples, Mrs Hammond and Mrs Easterbrook all left for pastures new.
Mrs Delmonte commented: "On behalf of all the staff who are leaving, I would like to thank Mr Emes, the wonderful staff at Hacton and the parents for their good wishes and generosity. Everyone has been extremely supportive and kind. Undoubtedly, we will all miss Hacton!"
As the school year draws to a close, we would like to take the opportunity to thank parents and carers for their continued support. Hacton has enjoyed another very successful year with all our pupils working hard to achieve '
Personal Excellence'. We sincerely hope that the sun continues to shine throughout the holidays and pupils, parents and staff enjoy a safe and relaxing summer. Whilst we wish our Year 6 children every success as they venture on to secondary school, we look forward to welcoming back our pupils in September. Enjoy the holiday!
