Thu 25 Sep 2025The school photographer will be visiting school on Tuesday 7th October 2025 to take an individual school photograph of your child. Like previous times, once we receive the proofs, we will send these home for you to purchase if you wish.
School Uniform will need to be worn by all children on this day. If this is normally your child’s PE day, please do not send them in their PE Kit. Children will still participate in a PE activity, but one which can be completed in their school uniform.

Cross Country Fun Run
Wed 17 Sep 2025Cross Country Fun Run
Monday 29th September 2025
We are excited to announce our upcoming in house Cross Country Fun Run.
This will take place in the afternoon of Monday 29th September for children in Years 1 to 6. (Weather permitting)
We are inviting the children to run wearing fancy dress. This of course is optional. Please don’t feel the need to go out and buy an outfit- you can just make use of what you already have at home, whether it’s a full fancy dress costume or just some accessories they can put on.
Children can come to school wearing their fancy dress costume all day on this date. However, if your child’s costume is quite extravagant, they may want to get changed after lunch. If your child does not want to wear fancy dress, they can come to school in their sportswear all day. All children will need to ensure they have their trainers to run in.
Though this event is a fun run for all to enjoy, there is a competitive element too as the junior children who place high, will be invited to take part in the Cross Country Championships next month.
Best wishes
Mr S Leek
PE Coordinator

Open Classroom for Parents- Wednesday 8th October 2025
Mon 15 Sep 2025Dear Reception to Year 6 Parents and Carers,
We are delighted to be able to invite all parents to an ‘Open Classroom’ event here at school on Wednesday 8th October from 3.15pm, finishing at 4.20pm. We really hope that parents are able to join us.
You will be able to have a look at their books and the lovely work they have been doing, look around their classroom and meet the teacher. If you would like a private, lengthier conversation, please ask to book a meeting.
Please collect your child as normal at 3.15pm and then make your way to their classroom. Infant parents, please access your child’s classroom through the door the children normally enter/exit from. Junior parents, please make your way through the gates your children enter/exit from and access your child’s classroom through the door the children normally enter/exit from. If you have several children, please go to each class, ensuring you have time to do them all before 4.20pm.
For your diary, Parent Consultations will be Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th February 2026.
We look forward to seeing you here at school.

After School Clubs Autumn Term 2025
Mon 08 Sep 2025We have been organising our extra curricular activities for this term. We are offering a variety of enrichment activities for the children, trying to cater for a range of interests and age groups. I am sure that you will join me in thanking our great team for giving up their own time to volunteer to run these clubs for our children. The list of clubs available this term are on the reverse of this letter.
If your child would like to join a club then please log on to your ParentPay account where the clubs available for this term will be listed for you to select. To make this process fair you MUST ONLY select ONE club for your child. If you select more than one your child will be cancelled from all clubs selected.
Booking opens from Monday 8th September at 4.00pm where you will then be able to view and book your child onto a club. As there are limited places at each club, places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If a club is full then the ParentPay system will not let you book onto a club. If you have yet to use ParentPay and need your login details, then please call in at the school office.
Clubs will start from Monday 22nd September and will run until Friday 28th November. If your child is attending an ‘invitees only’ club then please refer to your letter for exact running dates for that club.
Gooch Judo will continue their sessions on Thursdays in the Junior Hall. There is a £3 charge for this per week.
There will also be a charge for some of the other clubs that require resources or clubs that support staff run, as we need to cover the cost of their extra working hours. Please see the reverse of the letter for the cost per term for each club. Payment for the full term must be made via ParentPay at the point of booking. Please note, once payment is made, this is non-refundable so should your child be absent from school or no longer wants to go to the club, we are unable to refund this back.
Once a child has signed up for a session, we do ask that children stay committed to their activity for a term and attend each week. If for any reason they are not able to attend, please can you ensure the school office is made aware.
As always, Infant children will need to be collected at the end of their after school activity. We recommend that Junior children are also picked up from their activity, but this is parental choice. Please indicate whether your Junior child will be collected or allowed to walk home on the ParentPay system when booking onto a club. Please ensure you are punctual when collecting your child at the end of the club. Should you be late on more than one occasion then your child will unfortunately not be able to attend the club.
