Headteacher's Welcome

We have had a super week in school this week. The Y1 & Y2 children have enjoyed their Geography learning which has included a traffic survey. They have also produced some beautiful artwork which you can see below. There has been a hive of activity in Reception this week as the children have enjoyed all aspects of learning through the Story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. 

This morning we had a planned fire drill; the children were so sensible, leaving the building safely and following the instructions of the adults in school - well done everyone. 

Driving Outside School!
Unfortunately staff and parents have witnessed some dangerous driving outside school again this week. It is very concerning that some parents are driving too fast, and sometimes erratically right outside school. Some have also been seen dropping their children on the road with engines running whilst their child crosses the road on their own. 
Please remember the safety of children must always be the priority. Please remember to... 
  • Walk or park and stride
  • Always bring your child to the gate (please don't open the car door for them to cross the road on  their own)
  • Allow plenty of time to park if you do need to bring the car
  • Park respectfully - we regularly have complaints from local residents who can't leave their homes because their driveways are blocked
  • DRIVE SAFELY - please do not drive onto the pavement to pass an oncoming vehicle - the pavements are for children to safely walk on!
  • Turn engines off - we want our children to breathe fresh air!

Notes from the Teachers 

Science Week 2024 - We need you! 

Every year we join in with National Science Week by spending a week focusing on many different aspects of Science. The children take part in experiments, investigations and we often have workshops in school too. In the past we have invited parents into school who have a particular interest in an area of Science or use Science in their workplace. We would like parents to come and share their Science knowledge with the children by visiting their child's class or in the past we have sometimes had parents who have come and led an assembly for more children. If you are able to support our Science week by coming into school then please get in touch with your child's class teacher.
