Site Security

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have noticed some issues around attempted access to our site after school via the top gate leading to the Wrekin Way. We even had to stop a lady with a shopping trolley yesterday who wanted to use it as a cut through.

There have also been issues with teenagers, who keep coming back and attempting to ride bikes etc on our site.

As a result of this we are going to lock this gate at 3.30pm to unsure continued safety for our Afterschool Club children.

Thank you for your understanding.

Miss Cook

Curriculum Governors Involvement Update

During the Curriculum committee this week, Governors reviewed the art curriculum offer across the school and enjoyed listening to the children share their artistic ideas and sketch books. Governors were impressed with their enthusiasm for this subject and the clear enjoyment they link to art trips out of school. Governors recognised that the subject leader had a robust knowledge of his subject and was instrumental in supporting staff in the delivery of this curriculum area.

Governors also focused on the curriculum offer for pupil premium and SEND children across year 1 and 2. It was reassuring for Governors to hear and see that teachers are skilfully adapting the learning to meet the children’s specific needs.

Finance & Personnel Governors Committee

Governors scrutinised the ‘work life balance audit’ and were pleased with the very positive level of responses. Governors took great pleasure in knowing that having such a positive, dedicated staffing team, ensures the children’s needs are being met. Governors understood the pressures around the school and nursery budgets and contributed to the discussions for future spending. Governors listened to a presentation by the Assistant SENDco and was reassured that detailed planning, communication, and next steps continue to be carefully considered.

World Book Day

World Book Day will be taking place next half term (Thursday 7th March). With the cost of living crisis impacting on us all, we wanted to make you aware that we will be organising a costume “swap shop”. We will explain details nearer the time but wanted to let you know in advance not to buy new, expensive costumes but to start digging out any old costumes you might have.
