Celebrating the end of SATs

On Friday morning, our Year 6 children had a celebratory trip to Cuddington Park to celebrate reaching the end of SATs week. We are so proud of the attitudes they have shown throughout the year so far and wanted to give them time to celebrate. SATs results are not released until July.

Although SATs are over, our Year 6 children have a busy few months ahead of them. They will still be completing writing lessons, taking more time to explore the wider curriculum, prepare for their summer production of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', organise their Fiver Challenge stalls and, not forgetting, travelling to the Isle of Wight in the next few weeks!

Well done to the Year 6 children, as well as the members of staff who have worked equally hard this year.

A polite reminder: Safety around the school

We would like to reiterate the importance of ensuring that our families are being considerate of our neighbours when dropping off or picking up children from our school site.

If driving, please ensure you continue to observe the speed limits and parking restrictions in place within the school road and surrounding streets. 

It is also important to note that residents have access to their homes at all times of the day. Therefore, they are allowed to drive down Kingsmead Avenue, even during the restricted time slots. Do not obstruct our neighbours' driveways during drop off and collection of your child. 

While on the school grounds, please ensure that all children are supervised: 

• Children are not allowed to climb on the boundary walls within the playground. 

• Children are not permitted on the playground equipment during drop off and collection times

• Children should not ride scooters or bikes on the playground. 

Thank you for continuing to keep our children safe and for respecting our neighbours. 

☀️ Hot weather ☀️

As the weather is warming up, please ensure that children have sunhats and a water bottle in school. Please ensure that children have applied sun cream in the morning.

Our Book Wishlist

Children across the school wrote a wishlist of the different books that they would like to see in their library and their classrooms. 

We have collated this wishes and have put together an Amazon Wish List, which can be found here. If parents and families wish, there are over a hundred books that children are desperate to read on the list and these can be ordered as a present to our school. Alternatively, if you notice a book on the list that your children no longer read, we are always grateful for any donations!

It has also been suggested by our children that, on a birthday, rather than bringing sweets in for their classmates, children choose a book on the list that they would like to donate to their class. This also falls in line with our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles. On the order, there is an option to leave a message - you can specify which class the book is for. As ever, we recognise that money can be tight so please note that this is entirely optional. Any support is always appreciated.
