Headteacher’s Comments
I can’t believe I have now been headteacher for a year. I would like to thank all the staff, governors, children and especially you the parents for your support over the past year. I know I cannot please everyone all the time, but I would like to reassure you that I do have the children’s best interests at heart. Have a great Easter holiday!
Achievements
I do try to put as many children in the newsletter as possible, but this may not always be the case. Well done to Tia Pinnington, Cody Cassar and Michael Skinner for consistently getting all their spellings correct. Well done to Millie Eastwood and Tommy Argent who received a Green Card this week. Well done to Jessica Smith for her outstanding homework on Saint George. On Friday I saw a lot of children from Ms Stafford’s class for receiving Green Cards during the week (they know who they are!). Well done! Natalia Zolowicz received a Green Card for the high standard of her reading journal. Well done everyone!
Launch Day
This is a reminder that the first two days back we are launching our whole school topic ‘A Diamond Olympics’. On the Monday children need to come in dressed in Elegant Wear and on Tuesday they can pay £1 to wear sports clothing (all money to go towards Owen Andrew’s dad’s charity). We have our launch days on the first days back so we can get started on the topic straight away.
Attendance
Well done to Mrs Campbell’s class for the best attendance for a tenth week. 23 children have 100% attendance. Well done to Mert Ahmet, Tim Akpuda, Malcolm Alfred-Kamara, Elspeth Allen, Freya Blain, Ben Brooks, Raymond Bull, Rhys Dolan, William Dudley, Theo Harris, Shanice Lolomari, Kyri Neophytou, Kerys Page, Reggie Pegrum, Lucy Phillips, Michael Phipps, Melody Ramanah, Evie Rumens, Jake Ryan, Caelie Southam, Connor Southam, Reece Vallance and Thomas Wilkinson.

Return to school
We return to school on Monday 16 April at 8:45am.
Uniform
School uniform has become sloppy this past week. May I remind parents that children should wear plain black shoes or trainers. With the weather warming up, if your child wants to wear shorts, this is to remind you they should be tailored shorts.
Mobile Phones
This is to remind parents that children should not bring mobile phones into school.
New Parent Classes
- Do you want to help your child with maths but find you have forgotten how to do some of the basics?
- Do you find you can get the answers, but can’t explain how or why?
- Does some of the maths your child learns seem different to the way you did it at school?
If so, come to our 7 week Family Numeracy course starting on 8th May from 1.15pm -3pm where we will go over all these things in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The children will join us for the last half hour of each class to do some fun maths activities and games. Please speak to Ms Cromwell to find out more details.
