Message to parents regarding the activity out of hours

We are writing to inform you of some recent activity that has happened, out of hours on our site.

We believe at this stage that it is probably young people trying to find something to do. Even so, it is important that our site remains private during the evenings and weekends whenever the school and nursery are closed.

We are kindly asking parents/ carers who live locally to the school to support us by keeping an eye out and reporting any usual or suspicious activity around the nursery premises especially when school is closed.

School have already reported our concerns to the local police and the business watch security teams.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

 

 

Staffing changes

Dear Parents/Carers,

Schools seem to go through cycles when it comes to staff staying or moving on to new positions. It appears that it is our turn to have more staff alterations than is usual.

As you already know Mrs Thomas is leaving to undertake a promoted post from September.

It is with sadness that I must inform you that both Mrs Arthurs (Year 6) and Miss Jones (Year 6) will also be leaving us at the end of the year.

Mrs Arthurs and Miss Jones have contributed so much to our school and of course will be sadly missed by everyone.

I know you will join me in wishing them the very best of luck.

We have already put plans in place to ensure continued stability when they leave.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Careers Day photos

After a fantastic careers day on the 14th June we are sending career day photos to the kind volunteers who came in. This would only be for children whom we have photo permission for. If you would rather not have your child in any of the photos sent, please let the office know by Friday 28th June.

 

Radio Shropshire ‘Climb against Cancer’

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you will now be all aware, we are taking Years 1 – 6 to ‘climb against cancer’ on the 3rd July next week.

We hope that Radio Shropshire will attend and help us not only promote the event across Telford, but also help us capture the event through photographs and film footage.

There is a slim possibility that a team from Midlands Today or similar will also attend. This of course is dependent on what is going on nationally and with it being on the eve of a general election, they may well be busy!

I have today spoken to Telford and Wrekin communications team, who would also like to potentially come and join in the fun!

We have a small number of children who have on their record, ‘no consent’ for photos etc. If that is your child, you will soon receive a phone call from our admin team to discuss arrangements.

If you do not receive a phone call, yet believe you ticked ‘no consent’, please contact the office to discuss.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Curriculum Governors Involvement

Governors enjoyed listening to the children enthusiastically talking about their experiences during Healthy Lifestyles Week. Governors were impressed by the recount from the curriculum lead, explaining the developments across foundation subject assessment. This was evident whenever the Art and EYFS subject lead confidently discussed their areas of expertise.

 

Whole School French Day

On Friday 5th July there will be a whole school French day for pupils from Nursery to Year 6.

Pupils can come into school dressed in red, white and blue or even create a costume inspired by a famous French landmark.

Throughout the day there will be various activities for the children to participate with including, cooking, handball, pétanque, the can-can and much more.

There will also be the option to have a French themed dinner which consists of quiche, ratatouille and chocolate mousse, alongside the normal fish and chips which will be served.

If you would like to make a voluntary contribution of £2.00 to support the resources on the day, please log into parent pay.

Thank you for your continue support.
