Well done Year 6!

We are extremely proud of how well the children have settled into their new year group.

PE days will remain unchanged next half-term (Monday and Tuesday).

There is no homework to complete over half-term as we want the children to enjoy their break and to return refreshed on Monday 3rd November. Homework will be given on this day so please can children bring their homework books to school.

We have reminded children that along with their weekly homework, they are expected to read at least 5 times a week in year 6 and to record a detailed comment in their reading diary. We would really appreciate parental support and reminders for this, to help us support the children with their learning and also to prepare them for the homework expectations in secondary school.

Have a fabulous half-term!

Mrs Stack and Mrs Arthurs

Applying for a Secondary School place academic year 2026 – 2027

Parents need to apply by the closing date of 31st October 2025 for a secondary school place for September 2026, via the Parent Portal, accessed via Telford & Wrekin Council | Secondary School Admissions

Points to remember

– Apply for up to 4 schools to maximise the chance of receiving a preferred offer.

– Listing only 1 preference increases the risk of being allocated a school far from home.

– Late applications are unlikely to secure a place at popular schools.

– The application deadline is 31st October 2025 for all secondary school applicants.

– This deadline also applies to all children with an Education Health and Care Plan. 

For any queries, parents can contact the Admissions Team at: admissions@telford.gov.uk

NSPCC PANTS workshop

We’re excited to let you know that our school will be hosting a PANTS workshop for parents/carers delivered by the NSPCC on Thursday 6th November from 2:30-3:00pm. This important session helps children understand the PANTS rules, which teaches them how to stay safe from abuse in a simple, age-appropriate way.

Before the workshop, children will take part in a PANTS-themed assembly, introducing them to the key messages in a fun and engaging way. Then, they’ll receive a very special visit from Pantosaurus, the NSPCC’s friendly dinosaur who helps make learning about safety memorable and enjoyable.

We’re also pleased to share that we’ll be launching more PANTS activities in January, continuing to build on the children’s understanding and confidence around this vital topic.

The workshop and follow-up activities are part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding and empowering our pupils with knowledge that helps keep them safe both in and out of school.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the PANTS campaign, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with school.

Please see below flyer attached for details regarding the workshop. If you would like to attend, please book a free place via ParentPay.

Curriculum Governor Involvement

The Curriculum Governors met yesterday and put a spotlight on the curriculum areas of RE and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). Children came to share their knowledge and understanding of RE and did a fabulous job. Governors have confidence that the new guidelines for RSE are on track to be implemented over this year. Governors went on a tour of our Nursery provision and were super impressed with the engagement of our youngest learners. Nursery environments look amazing and staff are clearly working tirelessly to ensure that the children gain the strongest of foundations before they move into school.
