Headteacher’s message

Our Choir and Y6 dancers, represented school brilliantly last Friday at Charltonbury.  They performed to a big crowd and were fantastic.  Thank you to the staff who supported them in their performances and to Charlton for inviting us!

I was so proud of our Year 6 yesterday because their Leaver’s show was incredible.  They demonstrated so many individual talents and their enthusiasm was infectious.  It was a great performance. Thank you to all the family members who were able to join us.

Our Safeguarding Squad, also delivered their final assemblies of the year this week, sharing very important messages about summer safety.  I would like to thank the Year 5 and Year 6 team members for their hard work and contributions to keeping our school safe this year. Mr Yardley and I have really enjoyed working with them.

Well done to everyone who has received a Headteacher Award this week.  I am very proud of you all:

Summer Safety 13/7/23

Summer Safety

The Safeguarding Squad have worked hard these past few weeks preparing a PowerPoint to share with KS1 & 2 all about how we can all keep safe over summer.

 

Messages ranged from staying safe in the sun and applying sun cream which is SPF 50 (Sun Protection Factor) to how to stay safe in the sea at the beach. They talked through the meanings of the different flags that often appear at the beach too. These have been displayed around school for a few weeks now so the children become familiar with the flags and their meanings.

 

A big thank you to the Safeguarding Squad for everything they have done this year to keep our school safe and our students informed. Have a lovely summer and remember to stay SAFE!

Base 4’s Design and Technology – 11.07.2023

This morning, Base 4 created their own balanced meals for a summer picnic. They learnt all about the quantities of food they should have from the 5 main food groups and also learnt about food hygiene. They were very sensible when using different kitchen utensils and their finished plates looked very tasty! Well done, Base 4!

Improving punctuality and safety – September 2023

In order to ensure a safe and efficient start to the school day, from September, we are making some slight changes to our morning procedures. The school gates will continue to open at 8.35am.

Children will be able to enter school at 8.45am.  Classroom doors will be closed at 8.50am.  After this time, children will need to enter school through the double playground doors off the main playground.

The gates to the entrances will be closed by 9am, please exit the school site swiftly to ensure the gates can be closed on time and our site is secure.  Anyone arriving after this time, will need to enter school through the main reception office.

The class teachers will close the school registers by 9am to ensure a prompt start to the first lesson of the day.

Thank you for your continued support.
