Headteacher’s Newsletter

With the weather letting us know that it is well and truly Autumn, all the classes from Reception to Year Six have begun learning songs and preparing a short item to share during our Harvest Service at St Michael’s Church on 20th October. We are very much looking forward to this event which hasn’t been possible for the last few years. If you haven’t done so already, please complete the G Form which was sent out recently giving your permission for your child to go on walks in the local area this year as they will not be able to come with us to the church in a couple of weeks without it! 

Mrs Christine Richards

 Please cycle or scoot to school next week if you can!

If possible, it would be great if you could cycle or scoot to school next week during cycle to school week. Please be reminded when cycling or scooting that we ask all riders dismount and walk while on the school site to ensure everyone’s safety at busy times. Avoiding driving is particularly important at the moment as there are road works taking place on Meadoway and parking is limited. If it is necessary for you to drive to school, please continue to park with consideration of our neighbours. Perhaps you could ‘park and stride’ which involves parking a small distance away and walking the last 5 or 10 minutes to school. Our new Year Six ‘Junior Road Safety Officers,’ (pictured below) will be promoting Cycle to School Week in school next week.
