Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Connect and Reflect

  Wed 17 Apr 2024 Mr Walker-Jones

  Monday 22nd April is our Connect and Reflect afternoon. This provides an opportunity for you to come into school and to talk with your child about the learning they have been doing whilst looking at their work. We always find this gives a good illustration to the snapshot report and parent/ teacher meetings. 

   

  You are invited to come along any time between 2:00 until 2:45. The event will draw to a close at 3:00. 

   

  I look forward to meeting you, 

  Mr Walker-Jones

• Thank You

  Thu 28 Mar 2024

  I am sat at home basking in the love and kindness I have been shown today. The messages in your cards have really touched me and your generosity has blown me away. 
   

  You know me so well. A trip to the theatre and La Parisienne is my perfect treat. I am so grateful. 🥰

• Experience Easter Day

  Tue 26 Mar 2024

  'The Easter story is not just about death - it's about new life'. These were the words we ended with in church this afternoon after 'living out' the events of Holy Week in school and church today. 

   

  This morning in school, children have experienced what it would have been like to walk the streets filled with joy on Palm Sunday, to be washed by Jesus at the Passover meal, to share in the Last Supper and pray in the Garden of Gethsamane. After lunch we went to church where David Rowe and his wife Pixie had set the church depicting the scenes of Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The children were in awe as they sat at the foot of the cross and then peered into the empty tomb. 

  

• Nottinghamshire SEND Local Area Partnership Survey

  Thu 21 Mar 2024

  The Nottinghamshire SEND Local Area Partnership would welcome the views of all parents and carers who access Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) services for their children and young people aged 0 to 25.

   

  The views collected from this survey will be shared with the Nottinghamshire SEND Partnership Assurance and Improvement Group (PAIG) and will be used to shape future services and provision in the areas of education, health, and care. The PAIG leads on the co-ordination of services for children and young people with SEND in Nottinghamshire and includes representatives of parents and carers, as well as education settings, health providers and commissioners and local authority services.

   

  I would appreciate your support in sharing the link for the survey with all relevant parents and carers: https://consult.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/children-and-families-services/sendparentcarersurvey.

   

  The closing date for the survey is Monday 8 April 2024.

• School Grounds

  Mon 11 Mar 2024

  I am appealing to you to be vigilant, please!

   

  Mrs Farmer has noticed that someone has been in the school carpark over the weekend on the past few Mondays. Entry to the school site, other than the field, is not permitted and the gates are locked. If you do see someone in the car park, can you please let us know.

   

  The field is open for public access at the weekend and outside of school hours. When we converted to being in a Multi-Academy Trust this was something that the governors and I fought hard to keep. However, the right to use is comes with clear rules which are displayed at the entrance. One of the rules is that dogs are not permitted.

   

  There was a large amount of dog mess on the running track this morning. This is used by your children everyday and cost £10,000 to install.

   

  If you see dogs on the field, please ask the owner to take them off and let us know so that we can ensure your children do not play in areas where there is dog mess. 

   

   

• World Book Day

  Thu 07 Mar 2024

  What a fabulous day! Having not dressed up to celebrate World Book Day for about five years, it was such fun to see children dressed as characters, authors and people who inspire them. They have enjoyed making comics, sharing books with other year groups and a quiz. Class 2 even enjoyed listening to My Naught Little Sister read by Mrs Brown's mom!

  

• Summer Fair - Save the Date

  Tue 05 Mar 2024
  

• Author Visit

  Mon 04 Mar 2024

  On Friday we enjoyed a visit from author, Troy Jenkinson. As an ex primary headteacher, Troy delivered an engaging and entertaining assembly exploring his book The Best Mummy Snails in the Whole Wide World. A real life Giant African Land Snail called Thunder accompanied Troy and some children got to hold him!

   

  Some of Troy’s books have been written in collaboration with children and all explore the theme of equality and diversity. Class 3 benefitted from a writing workshop with thin after the assembly.

   

  Troy gave wonderful feedback about our school and the welcome he received. 
   

  Troy’s visit launched World Book Day which is on Thursday this week. Remember, children are invited to bring a book in that inspires them and to dress as the person who inspires them from this book.

  The Easter holidays will be here before we know it! Get your child's place booked in advance for a day of sport, craft and cooking. 

  

• Aspire Worship Leaders Retreat

  Fri 01 Mar 2024

  On Thursday afternoon the Worship Leaders were taken to church for retreat afternoon which led by Mrs Brown for the church schools in Aspire Multi-Academy Trust. The retreat provided an opportunity for the children to engage in scripture, activity, song and prayer. The things they took part in also provided them with ideas that they can use when they lead collective worship in their schools.

   

  We had a great time and all the schools gave really positive feedback.
