Head teacher’s update

I am very sorry to report that I have had to re-schedule the inflatable assault course again, to later next week.  With strong winds predicted for the beginning of the week, we felt that it was safest to delay.  I have never known the weather to be so unsettled at the beginning of the school year and it is typical that this unpredictable weather coincides with when we are trying to organise an outdoor event!  Many thanks for your support and patience with this.

AIP, our school food provider, will be on the main playground from 3pm on Tuesday 16th September.  They are looking forward to meeting our families and answering any questions that you  may have about our school lunches.  I  believe that they may also be bringing some sweet treats.

The children have done some fantastic responses to our focus book, The Dot.  I am so impressed by how inspired and creative the children have been.  We shared some examples of poetry in Praise Assembly, this morning.

Many thanks to all of you who attended our phonics and early reading evening, this week. We have never had such a positive turn out before. For those who did attend, please could you take a couple of minutes to complete our feedback form?  https://forms.office.com/e/ZfteS15WYJ

A quick reminder that our HSA meeting will take place on Monday 15th September, at school, at 630pm.  I look forward to seeing many of you, then.

 

 

 

Collective Worship

Our theme for Collective Worship, this week is our core value of Respect.  Our children speak very confidently about what respect is and how we show respect for each other and our school.  This week, we thought about respect for imperfections, by looking at the Japanese art of repairing pottery – kintsugi.  We thought about how instead of discarding the pottery, kintsugi respects the history and the beauty of the pottery.  Broken pottery is pasted back together to make something stronger and even more beautiful.  We reflected on how we can also reflect and celebrate imperfections. We also thought about how for Christians, their faith can help to make them stronger.

Inflatables

Thursday 4th September 2025
Dear Family
Re. Inflatable Assault Course
Over the last couple of days, we have been talking to the children about how this year will be a year of reaching our full potential. We have coined the phrase “Aspire for Higher” to encourage us all to be ambitious and aspirational. All classes have shared a wonderful picture book called “The Dot” and learning and activities will be linked to this text over the coming weeks. As a conclusion to our focus weeks, we have hired an inflatable assault course, for Thursday 11th and Friday 12th September. Each class will have an allocated slot and will be fully supervised and supported, at all times. We would love for all of our children to take part in this activity and have a lot of fun in the process. They will change into their PE kits and will not need any additional clothing or equipment. If you have any concerns or do not wish for your child to participate, please contact the school office and the relevant member of staff will get back to you. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you are happy for your child to participate.
Yours sincerely
Lindsay Mason
