Headteacher's Welcome It has been a very busy week in school with lots going on! The Reception and KS1 Sports days were both a huge success. The children had a wonderful time and alongside their amazing sporting skills demonstrated many of our school values, in particular perseverance and great teamwork! Well done to all the children! It was wonderful to be able to invite parents and carers to join us for these events - thank you so much for your cheers of support! Have a look at some of the fun on our whole school gallery!

Notes from the Teachers Classes for September As you may know, each year it is necessary for us to reorganise the class groups as we have an unusual intake of 75 per year group meaning the 3 classes in Reception must be organised into 2 year one classes (Turtles and Kangaroos) and the mixed Y1 /2 class (Elephants). The Junior school also ask us to group the children into 3 class groups so Year 2 teachers will be working on this together soon. We do find it is really positive for children to have the opportunity to develop new friendships and get to know each other across the year group. Teachers spend a lot of time considering how the children should be grouped taking into consideration friendship groups, how well children work together (or not), as well as numbers of girls, boys, children with additional needs etc. We don't ask parents to nominate friendship groups however we do urge parents to let us know if there is anything significant that you feel we should take into consideration. If there is anything you would like us to know then please either email your child's class teacher or send an email to enquiries for the attention of Mrs Hawkins - any information shared by parents will be treated confidentially. Teachers will be beginning to look at class groups after half term.
