Friday update
Tue 22 Jun 2021Happy Friday,
I hope you have all had a good week.
We started our week with a visit from Sam Oldham, the England squad gymnast, which the children were super excited about.
I have put some information under the key info tab on the website -safeguarding - in online safeguarding about keeping children safe whilst playing Fortnite. It has some useful information.
A reminder that children can only bring mobile phones to school if they need them when walking to or from school for their own safety and these will be kept secure until the end of the day. Once on school grounds children should not be on their phones. Thank you for your understanding with this.
We have completed our risk assessments to allow the children to move around to meet their new teachers next week as we feel this is an important element to enable the children to transition happily. They will go to their new classrooms on Thursday for an hour.
We will be posting online 'meet the teacher' powerpoints for parents on the 9th July in new class pages. We are planning to hold a meet the teacher in person on September 8th at 3.30 for parents. (This is assuming restrictions are lifted).
PE uniform
For clarity about the PE uniform for September as I've had a couple of queries..
We are asking for a red t shirt, black joggers or leggings and a black sports type hoodie/jacket. All should be picture free except for the school logo where applicable.
Shorts should be of an appropriate length.
Our stockists are Just Schoolwear and Myclothing.com. We are waiting for them to let us know if they can supply the hoodie/jacket but you should be able to find everything else fairly easily.
Hope this helps.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Friday update
Fri 18 Jun 2021Happy Friday everyone - although the weather is less than sunny!
There is a letter from the PTA under the news and events tab - letters home. The annual general meeting is taking place on Monday 28th at 7.30 and you are invited to attend. The PTA is a valued part of our school community, supporting activities for the children and raising funds for the school. Please consider joining us and making a difference to the children and the school community.
Please see the letter for more details.
Wrap club has spaces for the summer holiday if any parent needs child care. The club is running for the full 6 weeks this summer.
It would appear that numbers of infection are rising again and although we are hopeful that most people affected will not now be too ill, the prevalence seems to be in younger children from 4 to 12 and young adults. We do therefore need to continue to be cautious as we don't want any of our little people becoming ill. We are continuing to follow all guidance and asking for support where necessary.
Please remember no dogs are allowed on school premises or to be tied to school railings. Thank you for your consideration with this.
There is a letter detailing family THRIVE sessions under the news and events tab-letters home. As a school THRIVE is a valued part of our well being offer and parents can access this course to support them with a wide range of issues or just to find out a little bit more about the program itself. Please see the letter for more details.
Thank you to all parents who have taken on board the PE kit request. Our PE kit is available from our stockists and we ask that you bear this in mind when renewing any school uniforms. From September we ask that the pe kit is a red t shirt with black shorts or joggers. Shorts should be an appropriate length -if lycra type shorts these must be mid thigh length. As the children now come in their kits-something which we will continue in September as it has positively impacted on active time-kits must be seen as part of school uniform and should be smart and appropriate. This will also mean that once we are able to start participating in events and competitions the children will all be identifiable and smartly representing our school.
On tuesday we took part in the young voices biggest sing. Go to twitter to see some pictures of this.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I hope the football tonight is a win!
(in the interests of inclusivity I'm not saying who for. ;D

Friday update
Fri 11 Jun 2021Good afternoon all,
I hope you have all had a lovely week.
We have had a great week back at school.
As the weather looks set to be lovely for the coming week please remember to send your child with their water bottle and a hat. Sun cream can be applied at the start of the day if it looks like it will be particularly sunny. Cream can be kept in the child's book bag if they are able to be responsible to apply it. Please contact your child's teacher if you need support with this.
As we are waiting on the Covid update on Monday can I ask that we continue to wear masks on drop off and pick up? We are pretty used to this now and although it isn't compulsory I think it helps people to feel more comfortable or confident. We are all very ready for restrictions to be lifted but just need to keep on our guard for a little longer.
Once we know what the guidelines are for the rest of the summer term we will give you further information as to our plans.
The children looked great in their non uniform outfits today and I thank you on behalf of the PTA for your donations - they will be put to good use.
Don't forget to check out our Twitter page to see what the classes have been up to. Lots of lovely activities!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy more sunshine.
Take care.

Euro dress down/up day
Wed 02 Jun 2021Good morning all,
I hope you are able to enjoy the sun this week.
On Friday 11th June (first Friday back) the PTA are holding a dress up for Euros day.
For a £1 donation your child can wear the colours of their favourite team, a football kit or anything representing one of the countries.
It has been a difficult year for fundraising this year and with several projects on the horizon I am sure we will all enjoy supporting this day.
Have a good rest of the week.
