Welcome to this week's Round-Up and to the Autumn Term 2026!
Welcome to this week’s newsletter! The school was transformed into a vibrant ‘sea of red’ today as we came together to celebrate Rotherham Day, bringing a brilliant sense of community and energy to the end of the week.
We have been delighted to see the sheer dedication children are bringing to their homework. The sheer volume of completed tasks and the positive attitude pupils have shown toward their home learning has been fantastic to see.
Thank you to all the parents and carers who joined our FS2 children yesterday. It was wonderful to share that classroom time with you, and we hope you enjoyed the session as much as we did.
We love enriching our curriculum with hands-on adventures, and we've recently booked some fantastic new experiences—including KS2 climbing and an upcoming trip to Eden Camp!
A sincere thank you for your ongoing support with home reading. Giving children as many opportunities as possible to read makes an incredible difference to their learning journey. Please continue to support them at home and keep updating their portfolios on ClassDojo so we can celebrate their milestones in school.
Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support. Wishing you all a restful weekend!
Harvest Donations
Harvest Donations
With Harvest Season upon us, we are excited for our upcoming 'Experience Harvest' visits to the church next week. In the spirit of our half-term focus on generosity, we are collecting non-perishable food items for the church food bank. Any donations to help us support local families would be warmly welcomed!
Thank you in advance.
Attendance
As we begin a new school year and welcome students for another busy term, we want to take this opportunity to highlight the vital role of consistently good attendance at school.
Being in school means your child stays connected with their peers, is engaged in their learning and on track to reach their full potential. The table below shows the impact thatmissing school can have on your child’s education:
This week
We haven't quite reached the dizzy heights of 95+ attendance as we did last week, but we continue to have children who are making a great deal of effort to get to school on time, every day!
The final figures this week are as follows:
FS2: 100% Year1: 94.9% Year 2: 92.2% Year 3: 94.8% Year 4: 92.8% Year 5:98% Year 6: 91.9%
Well done to our 'green' classes for their amazing improvement!

Pupils' Achievements
Pupils' Achievements
We are aware that a number of our pupils participate in clubs and are part of teams outside of school. We would love the opportunity to celebrate their achievements with them and ask that they bring trophies, medals and certificates into school, or just come and share what they've achieved during our Friday assembly.
We would like to congratulate Joshua for his fantastic football achievement last week and receiving the 'Manager's Player of the Match' award.
100 word challenge
