General notices
Miss Morris is getting married on 16th December! We wish her much happiness and joy on her special day, and going forward. She will change her name to Mrs Holt. If you see Miss Morris next week, pop in to give her congratulations!
We say our fond farewells to Madame Flo. Madame Flo knows all our pupils from Reception through to Year 6 because of the part that she plays in our Forest School sessions. Madame Flo is always so kind, patient and encouraging. The children adore their forest school sessions because of the calm magic she brings. We will all miss her greatly and thank her for her dedication and hard work (in rain and shine) to ensure all our pupils gain so much from their time outside.
The Co-op Academies Trust have provided every pupil in all of their schools with a Christmas Selection box. Our thanks go to the Central team who organised 19,500 boxes to be delivered to all 32 schools.
Toys and games: Please can parents check their child’s school bag and pockets for toys, games, trinkets, notebooks, handbags with little bits and bobs inside etc. These cause issues in the classroom and playground, cause friendship problems, anxiety and take attention away from teaching and learning. Thank you for your support.
