Dear Parents and Carers, 

Well done to our Year 6 children with their SATs last week. They all showed fantastic attitudes and all did their best. This week they have Crucial Crew. Crucial Crew is run by Aspects and is interactive education-based sessions that teach young people important life skills such as e-safety, first-aid, information about dangerous substances, road safety, fire safety and managing money.

Class photos and sports team photos are on Wednesday. Please ensure that your children have the correct school uniform. If your child has PE can they please wear their school uniform to school for their class photo and bring the PE kit to change in to. Thank you in advance.

Next week is half term and we hope the children enjoy the break. We look forward to welcoming them back on Monday 1st June. When we return we have Heritage Week and Sports Days to look forward to. Please look out for information this week so you can help celebrate Heritage Week with us.

• Year 1 - 99.3%

• Year 2 - 98.7%

• Year 6 - 97.5%

• Year 3 - 94.8%

• Year 5 - 94.0%

• Year 4 - 90.3%

Message from Dame Rachel de Souza, Children’s Commissioner.

As Children’s Commissioner, I am writing to ask you to ensure all of your children complete my new survey, The Big Future. Under the Children Act 2004, it is my role to promote the views and interests of children in England, and I have done this so far by conducting the two largest ever children’s surveys: The Big Ask and The Big Ambition. Now, for the first time, hundreds of thousands of children will be eligible to vote in the next general election, the biggest change to the franchise in half a century. Yet just one in five children say politicians listen to them. That’s why I’m launching my final survey, The Big Future.

You can complete the survey here: http://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigfuture.

I want to make sure that I hear from as many children as possible, aged 0-18, from all backgrounds, in all schools and colleges, and in every part of the country. To do that, I need your help. I am asking children about the changes they want to see in their communities, their biggest concerns, and their hopes for the future. More than anything, I want to know what they think a good childhood should look like today.
