Fri 21 Oct 2016Outdoor Creative Play Area
Wolverley Sebright VA Primary School is a small village school looking to improve its outdoor play area to promote outdoor creative play for the pupils of the School.
The Staff, Governors and parents work hard together to promote healthy and active outdoor play to support the well-being of the children of the community. The Early Years playground is outdated and showing wear and tear with many areas showing damage and patch repairs, and has an overall "tired" look.
The School recognises that the current play area does not provide the children with as many learning opportunities to develop key skills or promotes sensory development. The pupils could thrive outside and really need to be able to access this area throughout the day in all weathers.
The range of equipment we could have to develop our outdoor play area will have a direct impact and promote greater development in all of the Early Years curriculum areas.
We need to create an outdoor area so that it is an extension of our indoor learning environment, offering shelter for outdoor play.
We are looking to work with an established supplier who offer 20 year guarantees on their projects.
The School Association work closely with the leadership team and the School Council and have together identified the immediate benefits to the children across the school.Wolverley Sebright promotes active relationships between the children of Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, with the older children having roles such as playground assistants and buddies.
Our Children have amazing and creative imaginations, what we are looking to create is a colourful, stimulating, fun, positive and educational outdoor environment for them to express themselves in.

1st Cabinet Meeting
Tue 11 Oct 20161st Cabinet Meeting
The first cabinet meeting took place this morning with Ministers in Education, Health, Sports and Environment joining the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Chancellor.
The main agenda item was to create the first manifesto to share with everyone. The ministers will now lead department meetings with their junior ministers to finalise the focus points for each area of the government.
I have to say politicians around the world could learn a great deal from the meeting this morning - respectful and informative!

Harvest Festival
Fri 30 Sep 2016Harvest Festival
What a wonderful start to our autumn term - all the pupils took part in singing songs and reading poetry this morning in church.
The children in Owls started our service followed by Hedgehogs who sang for the first time in the church. Robins and Squirrels sang with confidence and enjoyed taking part in the service. The pupils in Woodpeckers could not wait to sing and dance the 'Samba'. Pupils in Kingfishers read poetry and also sang two songs to all our families and friends who joined us. It was left to the pupils in year 6 to conclude the service with a poem - well done!
We hope you enjoyed our Harvest Service as much as we did!

Start of the Day - 5th September 2016
Fri 02 Sep 2016From September, we will trial what we hope will be a more effective way of starting the school day.
Entry on to the playground will be from 8.45am. Children are not supervised before 8.45am therefore for health and safety reasons if your child arrives before 8.45am, they must be accompanied by an adult.
At 8.50am, the first bell will ring and our 4 entry doors will open for children to start coming into school. Staff will supervise each entry until 8.55am when a second bell will ring to signal the start of registration.
On arrival into school, children will be asked to begin their first morning task. It is important that pupils are ready to start the school day on time and are settled. For pupils in years 1- 2 we will encourage them to come into their class independently. Whereas in years 3-6 we expect all pupils to enter class on time and by themselves.
We hope by having a gradual arrival, parents with more than one child will have more flexibility in ensuring their children are happy and in school. Also it will prevent parents from having to wait around on the playground which in turn will help with parking and road congestion.
If parents need to see a member of staff, please either see them before the first bell at 8.50am or come to the office where either I or Mrs Hackett will be available.
On the occasions when it is raining, the main key stage 2 entry door will open at 8.45am to allow for pupils in year 1-6 to come into school. Only pupils in Reception will continue to use their entry door.
