Next week, the school is due to undergo further improvements to the building with the instalment of new windows to replace old ones in Year 1, Year 2, Year, Year 4 and the school hall and new cladding to the building. This is the latest of instalments in updates to the condition of our building. Over the past 4 years our school has benefitted from successful funding bids to update the building including an new entrance and office extension, new roof, rewiring, new internal doors and ceilings. The windows and cladding will provide greater energy efficiency as well as improving the aesthetic quality of the building. 

Whenever we have contractors on site, we endeavour to continue to smooth and efficient running of the school and minimise  the impact on the children. Each classroom fitting is scheduled to take 2-3 days beginning with Year 1 next Tuesday. The class will be based in the hall with resources and learning materials moved in advance to allow lessons to continue as normal.  We shall be sending out information to each class detailing the days work is scheduled for you child and any changes to pick-up, drop-off or classroom routines you need to be informed of in advance. Once the classrooms our complete, external work will be complete before the hall windows are installed during the Christmas Break. 

As the hall will be in use as a classroom, we will be postponing some anti-bullying week activies and assemblies until Spring Term. We will still celebrating our unique qualities with Odd Socks Day this Monday and Children in Need will also still continuing with the school 'Wearing Spots to Raise Lots!'. 

There will be a pause in Gold Book Assemblies over the coming week, but let's see who has made it in this week...

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will be performing their Nativity play on Monday the 11th of December at 2:15 and Tuesday the 12th of December at 9:15.

We will also be offering a limited number of tickets for the dress rehearsal on Monday December 11th at 9:15 to families with younger siblings.

The performances on the 11th and 12th will be for adults only. Our youngest children put a lot of hard work into learning their lines and songs and often the smallest of distractions can knock them off course. Thank you in advance for your support and understanding.

Years 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be performing their Festival of Seasonal Music on Tuesday the 12th of December at 2:15 and Wednesday the 13th of December at 9:15.

Tickets will be available through the ParentMail school shop from 12 noon this Saturday November 11th. Each family is offered two tickets in total. There is not a charge for the tickets and they don't need to be for the same performance. We are very sorry but we are limited to the number of people we can have in the hall at one time and in order to be fair to everyone we cannot make exceptions by offering extra tickets to any family. Please do not reserve more tickets than two tickets in total.

A huge thank you to everyone for your Jazzy Jar contributions - we had a great turn out! 

House point totals are as follows:

Cherry 22

Oak 23

Lime 32

Willow 32 

It's not to late if you want to get involved - we will still take any nut free late donations!

We would also like to say a big thank you to everyone involved with the Halloween Bake Sale - we managed to raise over £100!

Make sure your child comes to school with a water bottle each day. Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are provided with a snack in the morning. Children in KS2 can bring a fruit or vegetable snack to school for playtime. 

If your child needs additional medication, please  fill in this form and drop it into the school office.

As autumn set in, please ensure your child has an outdoor jacket everyday. We always aim to have the children outside as much as possible during playtime and lunchtime.

The climbing frames are out of bounds before and after school. 

Good attendance starts at primary school - children who have attendance of 97% or above achieve better outcomes in school and have the best opportunities in their adult life.  

If your child misses school regularly, this will affect friendships as well as academic outcomes. It can be hard for a child who misses lots of school to form and maintain relationships with their classmates.

Being on time is also vital. Arriving late at school can be very disruptive for your child, their teacher and the other children in the class.

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!
