Reception Star of the Week 💫

Well done Aiyla for being our star of the week and Earth Day superstar 🌟.

Aiyla showed her creative side today with her wonderful hedgehog sculpture she made this afternoon following our special visit from the Shropshire Wildlife Trust.
Not only that, but she tries her best every single day and is a shining example of following our BMART code. We are really proud,

Halloween Fun – reminder

Dear Parents/Carers,

We will be holding a free Halloween School Event on Monday 31st October after lunch.  Children are welcome to change into their Halloween outfits or simply dress down after lunch (please label all items). Staff will be running a disco in the hall and carrying out Halloween fun events in the classroom. Children will go home in their outfits.

We appreciate that not all parents want their children to take part in Halloween events. If that is the case, please do let your child’s teacher know through the home school communication book. We will prepare something non-Halloween themed for them to enjoy.

Kind regards

Miss Cook

Parent View Survey

Dear parents/carers,

As a school we are proud to be always striving to deliver the highest quality education we can for your child along with offering them all of the additional experiences that we feel make our school so unique.

One of the many ways that you can support us is through completing the Ofsted questionnaire, ‘Parent View’ which is a five-minute survey that informs Ofsted how you think we are doing, but also helps us to make our school even better.

We would like to thank those who have already taken part but have had only 19 responses so far – even more responses will support us in how we can continue to grow from a parent perspective.

When Ofsted inspect us again, which we expect at any time, they will also seek the opinions of parents to help them gain a rounded view of our school.

Please let us know if you would prefer to complete this survey in school or follow the link below.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Miss Cook

Help wanted

Does anyone have any old saucepans, wooden spoons, colanders, plastic measuring jugs, metal spatulas?
We are revamping our mud kitchen in the forest and would love some items for the children to pretend to cook with and make mud pies!
If you do have any, please can you send them to Mrs Curnow via the nursery or office.
Thank you for your support.
