News from around the school-

Welcome back to a new school year!  The summer seems a long time ago, particularly when you look at the weather. I hope that you all had an opportunity to enjoy some family time and recharge a little.  We are all looking forward to a new school year and all the excitement that brings!

I would like to welcome our new Dexter pupils and families; the children have settled in wonderfully and have grown in confidence already.  I know that Mrs Penn has been extremely impressed with the start that they have made.

We will be revisiting our Vision with the pupils this term.  We will be looking at how our Values connect with our Vision and what our Vision means to us in our daily lives. Hopefully they will be able to talk to you about it at home too!

Clubs are being finalised and will be sent out next week, ready for clubs to start in week 3.  Clubs are offered by staff voluntarily and I am very grateful that our staff offer so many clubs across the year, as well as volunteers that give up their time to support the school.  Please be aware that some terms staff may not be able to offer a club at all.

Thank you for all your support regarding uniform, I have been impressed with how smart everyone looks, and it really reflects how proud we are to be part of Amberley.  Please can you ensure that all uniform, PE kits and Outdoor Learning clothes, including footwear, is clearly named.  We have had a number of children not being able to identify their own clothing and when they are not named this makes it even harder! 

Please keep an eye on the dates section of the newsletter for information about key events.
