This week we welcomed the new Reception parents to Marden for September 2023-24. I was reminiscing at the gate this morning with current Reception parents and how much progress the children have made over the course of the year. It was a well-attended event but as we look forward to September please be aware we have a limited number of spaces still available in September, so please pass this on to prospective families.
It was lovely to see Year 5 come back so full of enthusiasm for their upcoming learning following their immersive First World War trip on Thursday. Children talked excitedly about experiences within a trench system and being able to try on and handle genuine Great War items. I look forward to seeing photos in next week's newsletter and how they apply this to their learning!
Finally, next week we have our Father's Day Event on Friday 16th June 2023 - I look forward to seeing you there!

Anime is one of the most popular forms of media in the modern world. Fans span across multiple generations – with a particular emphasis on young people in the west, to whom the unique art style and over-the-top presentation greatly appeal. It takes many different forms – from movies to video games – but is most commonly presented in TV shows.
The cartoonish art style of anime can lead people to assume that all media of this type is child-friendly. While a good amount of anime fits this description, there’s just as much – if not more – that centres around deeply adult themes and topics, with scenes of extreme gore, disturbing horror, and sexual content. Our #WakeUpWednesday guide delves deep into this cultural phenomenon, identifying all risks parents and carers should be aware
