Headteachers Message

What a wet and miserable week it has been weather-wise! Despite this, the atmosphere inside the school has been fantastic, with so much enthusiasm and wonderful learning taking place across all year groups.

As you are aware, we relaunched our new Relationships and Behaviour Policy in September, and I am delighted to share that the impact has been incredibly positive. One key aspect of this is our Community Circles, which take place on Mondays and Fridays in every class. This term, teachers are working hard to relaunch these sessions to ensure they are productive and supportive. These circles are designed to create a strong sense of belonging among all members of our school community.

Another part of this initiative is the Zones of Regulation, which continue to be used effectively across the school. These tools help children identify and manage their emotions, and we encourage you to talk about them with your children at home to support their learning and emotional development.

This week, our House Captains met to discuss ideas for this term's winning house team community reward. Final votes will be collected early next week, and we can’t wait to see what the children decide!

We are also busy planning our Sports Days, so please keep an eye out for further information on this exciting event.

Thank you to everyone who has attended our Library Open Afternoon Sessions on Wednesdays. It has been wonderful to see so many families making use of this fantastic resource. A big thank you to Mrs. Cudlip for all her hard work in organising these sessions.

Our site team has been hard at work in the quad area, preparing it for new and exciting projects. We aim to expand our use of green spaces to grow fruits and vegetables. Additionally, the school council will soon be launching a competition for designs to develop the areas surrounding our memorial garden and current allotment. Keep an eye out for details on how your child can get involved!

We have also been working to increase the number of lunchtime clubs on offer, thanks to our wonderful staff who have volunteered their time to run them. More information about these clubs will be available on our website soon.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on our communication letter. It is great to continue working closely with you to improve and enhance our school community. If you haven’t had the chance to read the letter sent out earlier this week, I strongly encourage you to do so, as it contains some important information. We will announce the date for our next Parent Forum shortly, and we look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.

Have a wonderful weekend making memories. 

Mrs Wilden
