Head of School Message

Dear parents/carers,

We have had a very busy but productive first week back at school! It has been lovely to see how quickly the children have settled back into their school routines.

We have had a number of new school clubs start this week.  Cookery club was a huge success and the smells coming down the corridor were delicious! We are hoping to book this club again for September so if your child didn’t get a place this time, they will have another chance then.  Little Lifesavers has also proved very popular and I have had great feedback from parents/carers.  I am delighted we are able to offer such a range of extra-curricular clubs at our school and we appreciate your support in encouraging the children to try new things and learn new skills.

Lots of children are starting to ask about classes for next year.  A letter will be coming out next week with the class structure and any staff changes for next year.  We will be holding a transition morning on Tuesday 8th July where all children will spend some time in their new classroom or with their new teacher or classmates.  We will also be planning additional transition support for any children that will require further preparation.

Have a lovely weekend with hopefully a bit of sunshine!

Mrs Mavin

Dear parents/carers,

We’re at the end of a very short but very busy half term! We’ve been to lots of different sports competitions, the Year 6s have completed their SATs, our pupil councils have been busy working on various projects, and now we are starting to look ahead to next academic year.  The classing structure will be shared with you after the half term break.

This week, we enjoyed a visit from ‘Pudding and Pie’ who did a live cookery assembly on Wednesday.  They will be running a lunchtime cookery club after half term which will teach the children about healthy eating and nutrition as well as giving them an opportunity to perfect their cooking skills!

Cookery Club

Dear Parents,
Your child is invited to attend a lunchtime cookery club.
Each session’s primary focus is on fun, play and getting messy. They will learn about food safety and hygiene whilst creating from recipes. Each session consists of fun food related games, creating their own dish, tasting sessions and circle/socialisation time. Each session is highly interactive and lasts for 30 minutes to keep their attention going. They will have plenty of time to eat their lunch and have a play.
They will explore new tastes and learn the basics regarding the role of nutrition in the body.
Regardless of whether your child is a little fusspot or a budding chef this class does wonders for all! It works on their number skills, counting out amounts as well as builds confidence in creating their own creations from scratch (which they will bring home to show you!) They learn about the wonders of food and nutrition as well as learning to share with others.
The club is every Thursday lunchtime and costs £7.50 each week (26/6 for Sport day not included)
If you are interested in your child in attending the course please contact using the link below:

There are limited spaces as this is available for 12 children only so please book ASAP to avoid disappointment!
Kind Regards
