Mrs Peake's - News and Notes from the Headteacher 

Welcome back to a new term filled with excitement and opportunities for growth! 

School Uniform

As we embark on the Summer Term, I want to take a moment to remind everyone of the importance of adhering to our school uniform code, which is detailed on our school website. Please ensure that students are wearing school shoes, not trainers, and that they have a water bottle and school tie as part of their uniform. It is also crucial that all belongings are labeled to prevent loss.

Clubs

I am pleased to announce that clubs will be starting again next week. I urge you to refer to the 2-week diary provided in the last Newsletter, which clearly outlines that there will be no clubs in Week 1 of the Summer Term. By planning accordingly, we can ensure a smooth transition back into extracurricular activities. In the last Parent Survey 20+ indicated that you would like a gymnastics club however only 5 people signed up; we have therefore had to cancel this offer as with so few children it is not viable. 

Meetings with Teachers and the Headteacher

Quick chats and short discussions are welcome at the end of the day. Please note that staff may have pre-booked meetings after school and may need to leave promptly. If you need additional or a longer meeting then please make an appointment with the class teacher directly or via the school office for the Headteacher. Thank you for understanding.

Calling the office

I would like to address the recent influx of inquiries received by the office, many of which could have been resolved by referring to the information shared in our newsletters or on the website. If you are not receiving our communications via text or email, please inform the office so that we can ensure you are kept informed. Remember, all newsletters, letters and important updates are conveniently available on our school website.

Safeguarding

This week we have been working with the NSPCC and promoting their 'Speak out stay safe' campaign. Children have learnt that the number to Childline is 0800 1111. Please remind your children to keep themselves safe by speaking out to a trusted adult. Please also remind your children not to speak to people they do not know both online and in real life; remind them of the school rule to never speak to people, even people they know, through the school gate/fence. We are reminding them of ways to keep themselves safe in school also.

Perseverance

Reflecting on our previous term's focus on mindset, we now shift our attention to the valuable skill of perseverance. Encouraging a mindset of resilience and determination will serve our students well as they face challenges and strive for excellence in their learning journeys.

Let's work together to make this term a rewarding and successful experience for everyone involved. Thank you for your continued support, and here's to a fantastic Summer Term ahead!
