Happy New Year to you all and to our families celebrating Chinese New Year soon 新年快乐

Despite the cold, wet weather, we have started the term full of energy. We are having a refresh of all our displays and it's been lovely to see so much new learning going up around the building. It has been brilliant to welcome the children back into school and to see them engaged and ready to learn. 

Cars on site: Just a reminder that only Taxi's/Blue Badge holders and parents of children with temporary medical issues e.g. broken leg, may drive onto site. We will continue to man the gate in the mornings to ensure consistency to this rule. This allows our children to walk onto site safely, so thank you for your help with this.

Phones: As children start to walk home on their own, they are allowed to bring a phone with them to school. This is stored in a box in class - if the child hands this in. Can I please remind you to ensure these phones are labelled in some way, have a screen protector on and a robust case.  Whilst we are happy to store them, we take no responsibility for them whilst on school site and they could be damaged if a child throws their phone into the box. Thank you for your help with this.

Can I take this opportunity to welcome Mr Hale, our new Year 2 class teacher who has made a fantastic start to the term.  We hope you have all managed to say hello to him at the door.  2L will now be known as 2H.  And lastly, we would like to say a huge well done to Miss Willis, our new Head of EYFS, who has made a super start to her role.  Thanks to all the staff and parents who have made them both feel very welcome.
