Message from the Headteacher 03.02.2023
Last Friday, we took a group of 50 KS2 children to the Young Voices concert in Birmingham and it was an absolute pleasure to share the experience with them. Their behaviour was exemplary, they threw themselves into the experience and they were all a real credit to the school. A huge thanks to the staff who gave up their Friday night to take them and to all the parents and carers who supported us.
Next week, we have our Healthy Body, Healthy Mind week which includes Children’s Mental Health Week and Safer Internet day and all classes will be taking part in a range of activities to support these themes. The theme for safer internet day this year, is making space for conversations about life online. This is a really important focus this year, as we do experience issues in school that have started with online gaming or social media chat groups where children are confusing the virtual world with reality or behaving in a manner online that they would not do face to face. The link below has some very useful parent resources to support conversations with your children about what they are doing when online.

Thank you so much to Simerpreet from the Oakengates Gurdwara who taught our children a range of information about Sikhism. It was fascinating for children of different or no faiths as well as familiar and comforting to children who share the same faith as Simerpreet. We enjoy opening our children’s eyes to the wider world and exploring how people live their lives. Thank you also to Mrs Richards for organising this opportunity.
