Hello everyone
On behalf of all the staff, thank you again for all your support this week. Please feel free to send in any photos of you enjoying the snow and we’ll create a gallery on our website!
Plans for Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th March 2023 – NEU (National Education Union)
You will be aware that industrial action is being taken by the National Education Union on the 15th and 16th March 2023. At this point, it is unknown what our staffing position will be on those dates and the impact it may have on classes. An update will be provided early next week. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Our Very Own ‘Outstanding Young Citizen’
You may recall Cerys in Year 5 asking for donations of Christmas shoeboxes for the charity Teams4U, and her huge success in how many she collected and delivered to the charity.
In recognition of her achievements, I nominated Cerys for the High Sheriff of Shropshire’s Outstanding Young Citizenship Award and Cerys and her family were invited to the 2023 presentation ceremony at Telford College on Wednesday evening. It was a real privilege to be there and see the High Sheriff present Cerys with her certificate. Not only did she receive a certificate, she was also presented with an overall award in the junior category which, considering there are only three awards presented, is a huge achievement and very well-deserved.
Well done Cerys – we are very proud of you!
Parent Meetings
Our spring term parent meetings will be held in school on Wednesday 22nd March. The booking system will be on the website next week and we will send out a further message when it is ‘live.’
Have a good weekend.

Red Nose Day – Friday 15th March
Next Friday, we are fundraising for Comic Relief Red Nose Day through a non-uniform day and cake sale. Children can wear red or ‘dress for joy’ by wearing something that makes them or others happy! We would like everyone to pay £1 for wearing non-uniform and donations can be sent into school or made on our JustGiving page
We would also welcome donations of cakes/biscuits to sell at breaktime but nothing containing nuts please. It would be helpful if you could attach the list of ingredients in home-made products (for allergy reasons.) Children can bring in cash for the cake sale which will be paid into our JustGiving account. Thank you in advance for your support.
Easter Holiday Outdoors Arts Workshop
Our next project for this year is “Spring Drama in the Forest”!
Give your child the opportunity to interact with other children, facilitated by a skilled team of workshop leaders and passionate volunteers all within a beautiful and nurturing environment. Your child can express themselves freely, enjoy playing in nature and learn communication and collaborative life skills.
To take advantage of our early bird offer and for more information, visit https://SpringDNF.eventbrite.co.uk
See attached flyer for more info.
Kind regards,
Megan Budd, Arts Administrator
Message from Maple Class
Maple class have asked me to share this message with parents.
The way the ‘Give as you Live’ scheme works is you simply sign up to it. You go on to a website via Shrewsbury Ark’s website and it will automatically donate a percentage of your shop purchase to the charity. All you need to do is simply buy as you usually would and a percentage is donated to the charity.
This is linked to the Shrewsbury Ark charity which we are raising money for with our 5000km.
Thank you from Maple Class
