Hello everyone,
On behalf of all our staff and governors, thank you for all the emails and messages we have received regarding our Ofsted inspection report. As we said in our accompanying letter, whilst we were disappointed with the overall judgement, it is wonderful that the many strengths of our school have been recognised.
Be safe this Bonfire Night – Message from NHS
We want everyone to enjoy this year’s fireworks displays as safely as possible – and that does mean making small changes to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
There are lots of places you can watch fireworks this weekend and avoid big crowds, but if you are attending an event, please consider wearing a face covering in busy areas and stand back from the crowds where possible.
Reminder of COVID-19 symptoms to look out for
The classic main three symptoms of COVID-19 are a new, continuous cough, a high temperature and a loss or change to your sense of taste or smell.
However, those infected with the virus – especially children, do not always show the typical symptoms.
Anyone with the following precautionary symptoms is recommended to get a PCR test but do not have to self-isolate when they are waiting on their results. Thank you to everyone who has arranged a PCR test for their child this week, as requested.
Precautionary symptoms may include:
- Headaches
- Aches and pains
- Feeling tired without any good reason
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Sneezing
- Stomach pain in children
Well done (again) to our Year 5/6 tag rugby team!
Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal
The Royal British Legion fundraising merchandise will be on sale throughout the rest of next week, if your child would like to purchase anything.
Flu immunisation reminder
If you haven’t already done so, please return your child’s flu immunisation form next week in readiness for the school nurses visiting on Monday 15th November.

WANTED – Christmas ‘gift shop’ items
We are planning on holding our Christmas gift shop again this year, where children can buy small gifts for their parents/family members in the last week of term. If you have any unwanted items suitable for children to buy e.g. toiletries or stationery, we would be very grateful for donations.
Items can be left in the plastic box outside the office from next week.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
