A note for new, prospective and current parents. Current parents will be aware that we share most information via Class Dojo. For those parents who are new or are looking at the school, consider subscribing to our You Tube Channel.
Our weekly parent updates and assemblies for the children are shared on there so that you know what is happening and what is coming up, as well as possible discussion points to have at home.

For new and prospective parents, I will be recording a set of videos as an introduction to the school, as well as then sending out dates for virtual meets.
We are in the midst of many consults and places being confirmed for September 2026 so please do look out for links and information coming out to you.
Enjoy the sunshine!

From ๐ต-๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต (inspired by the 9-25 year olds we support at Let's Talk Well), we're inviting our community to take part in a 17-day Kindness Challenge.
Every act helps raise awareness.
Every share helps us reach someone new.
From letting someone go ahead in a queue to calling someone just to check in - every small act matters.
Visit www.letstalkwell.org.uk/kindness to start the challenge.
Don't forget to share and tag us
It's free to participate. It's easy. It could brighten someone's whole world.

Half term is almost upon us for many families across the West Midlands so we thought we'd share the 'Kids Eat Free' list for half term 2026.

Good afternoon everyone - Happy Friday and the end of term. Whilst shorter than the Autumn Terms, I think the dark, rain and cold has made this one feel just as wintery. We have however had many bright spots with the session with parents in today very much one of those. It was lovely to see many of you in school. The next parent/carer session will be Friday 27th March (date for the diary) for Easter celebration and performances.
We've had much pupil and staff illness over this term. I know that can feel unsettling and want to thank you for your support. If there was anything ongoing or requiring significant change for school staff then I would let the affected classes know. I'm hoping the lighter evenings and potential sunshine will help everyone (or perhaps the bugs will have just worked their way through!).
A big shout out to the final Big Breakfasters of the term - they were a lovely group together this morning:
Red - Charlie - Listening to adults and giving friends good advice.
Orange - Austin - Great parallel line understanding.
Yellow - Logan - Excellent effort in learning tasks.
Green - Archie - Being more confident in class and participating in activities.
Blue - Kyrel - Being a kind friend and taking responsibility in the class.
Indigo - Hayden - Fantastic choices made through the week.
Violet - Riley - Taking pride in his work and handwriting.
As it is the end of term, we also did our 100% draw (each week a child is in for 100% of their timetable their name goes into a raffle which we do at the end of each term).
The lucky winners this week were:
Harrison (Orange), Wyatt (Green) and Daniel (Indigo)
Have lovely half terms. We'll see everyone back on Monday 23rd February for the second Spring Term.

Good morning everyone - starting off week 5 of the term and we are finally into February! There were plenty of interesting discussions about whether Social Media should be banned for under 16s last week - all of our classes voted and we are sharing the results (see the parent update video).
This week we have Cooking with Josie starting back with Yellow Class. There is Swimming for Green Class.
Everyone will be participating in Time for Talk Day on Thursday. This is day that the charity 'Mind' put together to raise awareness of Mental Health. There are resources for schools as well as parents, carers and employers on their website if you are interested and would like to see more https://www.mind.org.uk/get-involved/time-to-talk-day/
