NEWS FROM AROUND THE SCHOOL

​

We started this week with a wonderful Harvest Celebration in the Church. The children all performed brilliantly, and it was wonderful to see so many family members there to support us. Thank you for the kind donations, the foodbank came and collected them on Tuesday and were extremely grateful for our generous donations.

​

On Monday, our Girls' football team competed in an Atlas football competition at Archway. They were absolutely brilliant throughout the whole tournament, winning three and drawing two of their five games. They scored eight goals in total and conceded none, and apart from the eventual tournament winners, we were the only unbeaten team in the event, and the only team not to concede. Their sporting attitude, their will-to-win and their kindness in support of each other was wonderful to see.

Key stage 2 took part in an author event through Read For Good on Thursday. We found out about the book The Neverland Thieves, and heard from the authors about their writing process. It was lovely to see children enthused about their own writing as a result.

Hereford Class were treated to a drumming performance by John Sterckx this morning. John introduced the children to different drums from around the world and performed for them.

It is believed that there may be a wasp or bee nest in the tree opposite school. For the time being, I would strongly recommend that children avoid the tree at all costs until the situation has been investigated and any necessary action has been taken.

​

I would like to kindly ask all parents and carers to help us by arriving at school on time each morning. A prompt start allows every child to settle in comfortably and begin their day alongside their classmates. When children arrive late, it can be unsettling for them and can interrupt learning for the rest of the class, who may already be engaged in their lessons. I greatly appreciate your support in helping create a calm, positive, and productive start to the school day for all our pupils. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Next Monday we have Nadia Underwood from SIAMS in school. All Church schools are inspected under the SIAMS framework, and she will be talking to staff, children and parents throughout the day. We are looking forward to being able to share our wonderful school with her.

There is a Funeral Service scheduled for Friday 16th October at 2:00pm.  Please be mindful when parking as there may not be much availability.

​

There will be no staff-run after-school clubs on Monday due to the SIAMS Inspection. This includes Computer Club, Drawing Club and Board Games Club. Atlas After School Provision will run as normal from 3:15pm to 5:30pm. Thank you for your understanding.
