Important Notice – School Access Arrangements for the Final Week of Term

We would like to inform parents and carers of a temporary change to school access arrangements during the final week of term, starting this afternoon.

From pick-up time today, the Phase 3 gate (by the Year 6 classrooms) will be closed and out of use due to boundary improvement works that are taking place over the summer holiday period. The contractors are beginning this week.

To access the main playground, please use the gates located by the staff car park through the quiet area. These gates will remain open for drop-off and collection times while the works are underway.

We kindly ask all parents and carers to allow a little extra time and take care when entering and leaving the site.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we carry out these important improvements to the school grounds.

Reminder – Meet Your Child’s New Teacher

Just a reminder that your child’s new teacher will be in your child’s current classroom at 3:10pm until 3:30pm on Wednesday 15 July.

This is an informal opportunity for parents/carers to meet their new teacher before September and put a face to the name.

Please note that Miss Moore will not be available on this day, as she was available to meet parents last Wednesday.

We look forward to seeing you then.

Year 5 – Careers Day

As a part of careers day, Year 5 had a visit from an author named Joseph Allen, who writes fantasy books for children. Joe shared his planning books and his stories with the children and helped them to create their own character for a story. He then read an extract of his latest book!

The children absolutely loved learning about his work 😊

What’s App – Year 5

We have been made aware of some What’s App groups involving children in year 5 that we are asking for you to please monitor.

Within the chats, older children, who are not known by everybody, have been added and some of the content and messages being sent are not age appropriate.

As a school we will continue to address online safety in lessons and making sure pupils understand the importance of staying safe online and ask you as parents/ carers to support at home and monitor devices.
