Message from the Headteacher 28.04.2023

We have had an exciting first for Apley this week.  Some of Year 5 children entered the F1 in schools competition and both teams won awards.  The Thunderbolts were the overall winners and have qualified for the National Championships!  This is an incredible achievement and the children worked so hard as a team.  Thanks to the staff who took them to the event on Monday.

Please have a look at the  monthly online safety newsletter that was sent out this week, it has some important parent information about a new automatic  feature for any snapchat user and has been linked with some potential online safety risks.

We love that children are coming to school on bikes and scooters but please remember that children should not be riding them on the playground when they arrive/leave.  This is to ensure everyone stays safe during busy times at the start and end of the day.  Permits to leave them on site during the day are available from the school office.

Well done to everyone who achieved a Headteacher Award this week:
