Weekly Update
We’ve had a very productive week in school, engaging in our new units of work and enjoying the autumn weather and our outdoor spaces. Mr Armstrong started his Forest Schools programme for the Autumn term with Year 1 enjoying their session in our Outdoor Classroom this week. Please see our Diary Dates below to see when other year groups are attending.
We look forward to the start of our Sporting Events next week with the Year 6 and 5 participating in Football Tournaments on Monday and Tuesday. Good luck to all the teams taking part.
Could we please ask that children do not play on the MUGA, field or Trim Track before or after school. Children are only allowed on these with staff supervision.
Could parents/carers in cars also be considerate when parking at the start and end of the day; please make sure that you do not block resident’s driveways and prevent them from accessing their properties.
We appreciate everyone’s co-operation with both these matters.
Have a lovely weekend.

Overall 97% (a fantastic first full week)
Well done to the 11 classes who got 96% or above – a great achievement – and to Class 613 who got 100% this week!
Keep up the good work everyone – this half term we want to aim for more children and classes to achieve 100%.

Reminders
- If you would like to discuss anything related to your child, we ask that you speak to your child’s class teacher in the first instance.
If you require a further discussion please contact phase leaders: Miss Mills for EYFS, Mrs Ingledew for KS1 and Mrs Wilson for KS2.
Mrs Prince and Miss Tarran are also available on the gates each morning and can support with any unresolved issues.
Our office staff will always be able answer organisational queries too.
We would always recommend that you come and speak to staff if you have any worries or concerns, so they can be resolved as soon as possible.
- Due to new lunchtime arrangements, please can you make sure that children have a drink in their packed lunches as they are unable to go back to their classrooms for their class water bottles. Children have access to tap water in the lunch hall if they wish to have some.
- Thank you to everyone who has named their child’s uniform; this really helps us to return any lost property to its rightful owner, and we would encourage all parents to make sure that uniform is named please
-
- Please can we remind all children and parents that bikes and scooters should not be ridden on the school playground. Please jump off your vehicle and push it along to avoid any accidents.
