Headteacher’s Message

Well done to Year 6 this week. The whole staff team have been very impressed with the maturity, resilience and positivity that they have demonstrated this week during their SATS tests.

Thank you to West Mercia police who visited Year 5 this week.  Their visit was part of our PSHE/Character Education curriculum and they talked to the children about the potential impact of racism, name calling and aggression. The children listened very well and will reflect on the messages from the Police team in future lessons.

I’ve been looking at our lunchtimes this week to see how they are running. What a pleasure this has been! I’ve spoken to many children engaged in a wide range of activities including different sports, dancing, using our range of large equipment – the pirate ship, gym equipment, trim trail, colouring, drawing, bubble fun in Reception/KS1. Some of our year 3 children were very creative and have been using the natural resources in our grounds to make small models of Stone Age houses. They were absolutely brilliant – well done Khaled and Habibah. Thank you to the lunchtime supervisors and teaching assistants who have adapted activities on offer based on what the children like and have asked for.

Congratulations to everyone who has received a Headteacher Award this week, I am very proud of you:

Tobiah F, Emmy C, Tianne G, Bronwen M, Macey-Mai M, Jack A, Spencer R, Sophie B, Amelia A, Habibah K, Evie R, Luke W, Erin T, Georgia W, Kenzy S, Kayden H, Harry D, Isabella N, Kacper C, Aibel E, Musaikah T, Leo B, Layla H, Victoria R, Base 7, Base 8 and Base 15.

Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Mrs E Smith
