What's on your mind? with Dr. Alex
Wed 14 Jul 2021What's on your Mind?
The Government’s Youth Mental Health Ambassador, Dr. Alex George, presents this series of five films on First News Education TV developed with the Department for Education and Sky Kids.
In the series, dedicated to mental health and wellbeing, Dr. Alex teams up with FYI presenters, experts and celebrities to investigate simple ways to deal with the pressures of life.
Each episode highlights the importance of being physically and mentally healthy.
The series will air on Sky Kids throughout the summer of 2021. The team will investigate just how important a good night’s sleep is, how exercise and what you eat can have a massive impact on your mind, and the importance of speaking out when you are feeling down.

Monday 12th July
Fri 09 Jul 2021Late Register Option...
In light of a certain event taking place on Sunday evening we would like to gauge parental feedback as to how many will welcome the option for their child to arrive slightly later on Monday morning.
School times will still operate as usual but from a safeguarding aspect we will need to know who to expect by 9am and who will be arriving later on that day.
Mrs Hackett will send out a Google Form as this is the quickest way for us to establish who will be and when. Please only complete this form if your child will be arriving late on Monday.
If you do wish for your child at arrive later on Monday morning we ask that they do so by 10am and arrive at the main entrance so we can register each child and take them to their class. This is of course unless there is any national guidance which would alter our school day.
Many thanks

Stranger Danger!
Wed 07 Jul 2021Wednesday 7th July
All headteachers were alerted this evening to an incident that took place after school today in the Franche area.
A man and a woman in a small white car attempted to get a pupil into their car. We have been told the woman was driving whilst the man got out of the car. Luckily the child is safe however, the police have been informed and are taking this very seriously.
We would urge all parents to be vigilant at the start and end of the school day and remind their children of stranger danger - as we will in school.
If anyone has any information please report this directly to the Police.

This year our Year 6 Leavers event will take place on the school playground on Friday 16th July 11.00am - 12.00pm. Parents are invited to join their child as we present and celebrate their time with us.
Following this service our Year 6 will continue their celebrations with a special luncheon (of their choice) in school. They will also have time with their buddy and will help lead in our End of Year Celebration Assembly.
This will be remote which all parents will be able to join via the special link from 1.30pm - 2.15pm.
During this celebration our year 6 will support me in presenting awards to each year group which will include our Value Awards, Reading Recognition, Sports Stars of the Year and a new CEL Award.

In the Loop! 1st July

Planning for September
As we approach the final two weeks of school we will provide opportunities for our children to plan with staff for September.
Due to the guidance, which we are obliged to follow, our original plans for all pupils to spend quality time with staff in classrooms now needs to be adapted. Every member of staff will provide an overview of what their year group will focus on and cover during the autumn term.
The staffing structure for September is presented below and takes in account key milestones in school and how we can best support our children at each stage. We hope that our families will be allowed back into School for open mornings, workshops and to have a look around when we return.
The School has undergone many changes over the last year and we dearly hope that families will get the opportunity to see how the changing learning environments are promoting and enhancing our children’s learning experiences.
We are currently drawing up our beginning of term arrangements for September and, although there is limited clarity or detail for all Schools there is also the possibility any plans drawn up now will be subject to change in light of future Government announcements. We will nevertheless share our guide for the start of term before the end of this one.
Please continue to monitor our School Website and text messages.
Reporting to Parents
The final touches are being put to your child's end of year report which we will email to families from Monday 12th July. There is an opportunity, if you wish, to speak (remotely) to your child's current teacher on Tuesday 13th or Wednesday 14th July. Mrs Hackett will send a Google Form to all families - if you wish to register an appointment there will be proposed timings which staff will coordinate with you the best they can.
Meet and Greet
In the autumn term it is our aim to invite families to a 'Meet and Greet' session with the new year group staff. Staff will be able to share further details of what your child will cover and expect in their new school year. We await confirmation on what we can and can't do so final plans will be shared nearer the time.
