🌈 A New School Year Begins! 🌈

We are delighted to welcome all of our children back to school for the start of a new academic year.

This week, pupils are taking part in wellbeing exercises at the beginning of the day, helping them feel calm, focused, and ready to learn. Supporting children's wellbeing is an important part of school life, and these activities are a wonderful way to start the day together.

We are looking forward to an exciting year filled with learning, friendship, and fun. Welcome back everyone!

📚 Back to School 3rd September 2026: Helping Children Feel Ready

As we prepare for the new school year, here are some simple ways families can support a smooth transition:

✅ Start bedtime and morning routines early
✅ Talk about any worries and listen without judgement
✅ Practise the journey to school if possible
✅ Prepare uniforms, bags and lunches the night before
✅ Encourage children to focus on what they’re looking forward to
✅ Keep goodbyes positive, calm and consistent
✅ Make time to relax and unwind after school

Also see the link to Just One Norfolk for some great back to school preparation ideas and mental health support.

Remember, it’s normal for children (and adults!) to feel a mix of excitement and nerves when routines change. Small steps and open conversations can make a big difference.

Visit Just One Norfolk for activities to support children's return to school after the holidays including resources and self care packs fro primary and secondary aged young people.

Bignold Primary School and Wensum Junior are celebrating after achieving their School Games Mark Awards!

This year, Bignold has been awarded the Gold Schools Games Mark, while Wensum has achieved the Silver Award.

The School Games Mark is a government-led award scheme that recognises schools for their commitment to physical education (PE), school sport, physical activity and competitive opportunities for young people. It helps schools evaluate their provision, celebrate successes and identify areas for future development.

The award focuses on how schools:
- Encourage all pupils to be physically active and work towards the Chief Medical Officer's recommendation of 60 active minutes per day (20 minutes for SEND pupils).
- Provide inclusive and meaningful sporting and competitive opportunities.
- Promote equality of opportunity and increase participation for all pupils.
- Engage families, staff and the wider community in promoting the value of physical activity and school sport.

Well done to everyone involved!
