I hope you are all having a fantastic week!

A Huge Thank You for a Fantastic Disco!

Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped make our school discos such a brilliant success! The children had an amazing time dancing, singing, and enjoying themselves. It was wonderful to see so many happy faces, and events like these really help to bring our school community together. A special shoutout to Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Scott, and our wonderful parent volunteer, Cara Jordan, for all their hard work in organising and running the event—we truly appreciate you!

Community Survey – Have Your Say!

I’d also like to extend my gratitude to everyone who has responded to the community survey regarding the discussions around making surrounding roads a one-way system. Your feedback is incredibly valuable in shaping any potential changes that could impact drop-offs, pick-ups, and the safety of our children. If you haven’t had the chance yet and would like to share your thoughts, please do take a moment to complete the Google Form—your input really does make a difference!

Uniform Reminders

We have had to send out quite a few reminders recently about uniform expectations, particularly on PE days. Please can we ask for your support in ensuring that children follow the uniform policy at all times. Wearing the correct uniform promotes a sense of pride, unity, and readiness for learning. On PE days, children should be coming in the correct PE kit rather than alternatives. If you need any clarification on the uniform expectations, please don’t hesitate to reach out.Year 2’s Wonderful Residential at Stubbington Study Centre

A huge thank you also goes to the amazing staff who supported our Year 2 children on their residential trip to Stubbington Study Centre last week—especially Mrs. Saunders, Miss Anstee, and Mrs. Hargrave. Taking children away on residentials is a big responsibility, and we are so grateful for the time and care they put into making it such a special experience. The children were absolutely wonderful and had a fantastic time exploring, learning, and making great memories!

The Importance of Reading at Home

A quick reminder of the importance of regular reading at home. Whether it’s a school reading book, a bedtime story, or even a magazine, encouraging a love of reading from an early age has such a positive impact on a child’s vocabulary, comprehension, and overall academic success. Just 10–15 minutes of reading each day can make such a big difference. Thank you for your support with this!

Attendance & Punctuality

We know mornings can be a rush, but arriving on time each day is so important for a positive and settled start to learning. Being just 5–10 minutes late each day can quickly add up to hours of missed learning over the course of a term. Thank you for your efforts in ensuring children arrive on time, ready to start the day!

Looking Ahead

With the days getting longer and (hopefully!) warmer, we have lots of exciting things coming up, including curriculum opportunities and outdoor learning. Keep an eye on upcoming newsletters and communications for key dates and reminders.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support—we really do appreciate it. Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!
