Yesterday, we held our Father's Day event. It was lovely to see so many of you come in to celebrate this with your children. We hope you enjoyed spending this time with them. To all those Dads, Grandads, Uncles and carers or just a wonderful role model, past and present - we wish you a very happy Father's Day.
Recently we have noticed that several children have been bringing money, fidget toys, and other personal items into school. We understand that these objects may hold significance for your child; however, we kindly remind you that personal belongings of this nature should not be brought onto school premises.
As a school we cannot accept responsibility for these items. To ensure the safety and security of these items, we ask that if your child needs to bring any personal belongings or money to school, they should be handed in to the class teacher when they arrive. This will allow us to securely store them in the office until the end of the school day. Thank you for your support with this.
Next week we are looking forward to welcoming you to Sports Day. Please see timings and details for this event below.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

As warmer weather approaches, we would like to remind you of our commitment to sun safety and hydration at school. We encourage all children to come to school prepared for outdoor activities by applying sunscreen before school and bringing a named hat. Children will be encouraged to wear hats during outdoor play and learning.
Equally important is staying hydrated! Please ensure your child brings a full, reusable water bottle to school each day. We will encourage regular sips throughout the day and provide opportunities for refills.

Cranbrook Juniors FC are recruiting girls entering Years 4, 7 and 9 this September to join our thriving female football pathway. Out of our 350 members, over 100 are girls, and we’re proud to be creating inclusive spaces where players of all abilities can enjoy the game and grow in confidence.
We’re an England Football Accredited Club and part of a supportive grassroots network committed to participation, development and fun. Alongside competitive football, we also offer non-competitive recreational sessions for girls. Our term-time programme includes:
Wildcats (Years 1–3) – Fridays, 17:30–18:30
Wildcats (Years 4–6) – Saturdays, 09:00–10:00
Squad (Year 7+) – Fridays, 18:30–19:30
If any of the above programmes are something you feel your families would be interested in, please let me know and I’d be happy to send over some suitable creative material to share with them.
Attached is a general poster (PNG and PDF) that we’d be hugely grateful if you could share with students and parents – either via your newsletter, display boards or school social media accounts.
If any parents or carers would like to register interest or have any questions, they can contact me directly at chair@cranbrookjuniorsfc.co.uk.

The remarkable growth of generative AI tools like ChatGPT has opened up exciting new opportunities for young learners. Used wisely, AI can be a powerful ally in boosting creativity, learning and problem-solving skills. However, without proper guidance, young people may stumble into challenges including inaccurate information, data security risks, and a growing reliance on AI over their own critical thinking.
From setting clear usage boundaries to teaching digital hygiene and promoting independent thought, this guide offers parents and educators practical advice on the safe, positive use of AI. With the right understanding and guidance, you can ensure that generative AI becomes a positive influence, rather than a potential pitfall in young people’s digital lives.
