Well done to all the children for all their hard work in showing the school core values and collecting house points this half term. Congratulations to the Phoenix team who have won the non-school uniform day tomorrow (Friday 24th October)! The scores are as follows:

Dragons 4761

Unicorns 4661

Phoenixes 5072

Griffins 4709

Well done again to everyone and keep up the super work.

Dear parents and carers,

We have moved the coat swap from today after school to tomorrow after school as the weather is looking very wet and windy. 

We will have some uniform out tomorrow after school to take too, and some bike helmets that are spare which you are also welcome to take for your child if they need one. 

If you have any more coats to bring in for tomorrow's coat swap, please can you do so by tomorrow lunchtime. It would be great to have more if people are having a sort out. 

Kind regards

Mrs Vicky Hopkins

Athletics & rugby WILL go ahead tomorrow as planned because the weather is forecast to be dry in the afternoon. Please ensure children have appropriate clothing and footwear for being on wet grass. Many thanks. 

As we approach the half-term break, we would kindly ask parents and guardians to check through our lost property to see if there any items belonging to your children. Any unnamed items remaining after school on Friday will be either reused, recycled or discarded depending on their condition. The lost property trolleys are normally located under the canopy but will be on the playground today (Wednesday) and Friday. Please continue to help us reduce the amount of lost property by making sure uniform, water bottles and lunch boxes are clearly labelled with a permanent pen. Thank you.

The children are busy voting for their favourite pumpkins. Thank you for all of the entries, they all look great! Please remember to pick up your pumpkin at the end of the day and take them home. You will also be able to pick up a stciker for entering the competition. The winners will be announced once we have all of the votes in. 

Thank you 

We have been made aware on a few occasions since the summer holidays of unkindness on Whats App between children in year 6. As a school who are promoting a Smartphone Free Childhood, we ask that you consider the devices your children have access to, and the apps they use. Whats App, as an example, has a minimum age requirement of 13 years old. This is for safeguarding reasons for your children. 

We teach the children e-safety as part of our curriculum in school and, apart from suggesting that children should not be on these apps, as a school we have little other control over these issues when they happen at home. We are aware however that there are things on these apps which are making children very distressed, and these issues spill into school and impact the children's ability to focus and learn.

Please can we ask that you review your child's internet and social media use so that they are accessing age appropriate apps and that they are keeping safe online. 

Kind regards

Mrs Vicky Hopkins

Dear parents and carers,

We have made the decision to cancel tonight's year 5 and 6 netball practice due to the weather forecast for the day. Children will need collecting as usual at the end of the school day. Traning will resume after half term. 

Thank you

Good morning parents,

The children on the residential have arrived and are already enjoying their first activities! We hope to get some pictures to you later today or tomorrow on the website. 

Enjoy your day!

Mrs Hopkins

We have been made aware that there are some large What's App groups in year 5 and year 6 which have formed outside school, and there has been some upsetting and inappropriate language used on them. Please can we ask that you monitor these groups and speak to your children about this.

Many thanks 

Dear parents and carers, 

With the weather warnings in place today, we have been working hard to seek an alternative venue for the graduation as we don't want you all to get wet if the weather is not on our side! We have managed to secure the hall at Carnival Hall across the road. The children need to arrive for 4.30pm as planned, and parents and carers will be let in just before 5.00pm. 

We do need to vacate the hall promptly at the end of the graduation as there is another group using the space, so any help to pack away would be amazing! Sorry for the slight change but hopefully it will make everyone more comfortable. It is now likely not to rain at all!

Please share this message with other parents if you can.

Kind regards

Mrs Vicky Hopkins
