Parents that have walked in through the main gates or have come up to the school office may have noticed the new Remembrance Garden that has just been created.

This a peaceful space that we are developing to provide a place for children, parents and staff to go to in times of remembrance - possibly to think about someone that they have loved and lost. We will also use it for key Remembrance days to remember fallen soldiers. Over time we will plant more plants in and around the garden and will be adding plaques.

We are thankful to Education Staffing Link, one of the teaching agencies that we use, for supporting the garden by paying for the beautiful sculpture that forms the centrepiece of the garden.

We will be holding an official opening of the garden very soon. Do come and have  a look at the garden when you have chance.

Thank you to the 27 parents that came to the  Times Tables Workshop yesterday afternoon. It was great to see you joining in the games and tasks with such enthusiasm. Feedback was very positive. We will be holding another workshop during a  morning session for those parents that were unable to attend yesterday afternoon. Have fun supporting your child with their times tables facts.

Whole school attendance is still at 96.4%. Well done everyone!

Huge congratulations to more than 300 children that were in every day and on time last week, earning them their 100% weekly sticker and their name went into the prize draw. Keep up the good work. Let's stay at that magic 96% or get even higher.

It has been lovely to see so many parents in school over the last week or so for different events.

We have seen parents and grandparents at informal coffee mornings, at the book fayre buying books and at workshops to support their children's learning.

We appreciate the time that you give to come and support school events in particular those that involve you supporting your child's learning. The more that you know about what and how your child is learning, the more you can help them to achieve their full potential.

Thank you.

We are really pleased that whole school attendance at the moment is 96.4%.

This is in line with National figures. Please help us to continue with this great start.

Congratulations to everyone with 100% attendance so far! There are 283 children with this achievement.

Please help us to have an efficient start to the school day - arrive on time every day!

Our 2 day book event has been a huge success as it is every year. All classes have attended a workshop about Africa and learnt about traditions and customs and shared stories from Africa.

The books on sale are excellent quality and value and it's lovely to see so many children browsing and buying books. Any commission we earn will be used to buy more books for the classrooms and library to support our topics. Thank you for your support.

This morning we held a really successful coffee morning in aid of Macmillan. We raise over £270. Thank you to everyone that donated cakes or came along to drink coffee, eat cakes and chat. A big thank you to the parents that organised and ran the event and to the yr 6 pupils that were brilliant waiters for the morning.

Have you seen the information and tips about how to support your child to learn their times tables? It is in the children's section of the website.

 

There will be a workshop for parents (Year 1-6) on Tuesday 9th October at 2:30 p.m.

We are really delighted to launch two new student leader positions to our school.  Year 6 pupils are warmly invited to apply for these positions. Mrs Colley has visited the classrooms to explain all about it.
