A reminder that School Census Day is next week Thursday 1st October, and to help mark the day, Taylor Shaw will be serving a special lunch menu:

If your child is in FS2, Year 1, or Year 2, or qualifies for income-based Free School Meals, we’d really appreciate it if they could have a school meal on that day.

This is because the number of children having a school lunch on Census Day has a big impact on the funding our school receives. The more children in these year groups that take up a school lunch, the more support we get for the school.

To help encourage as many children as possible to join in, we’ll be running Lucky Plates – where a few lucky children will receive a special treat just for having school lunch! If your child usually brings a packed lunch, they’re still welcome to bring it as a backup, but we’d love them to give a hot meal a try on the day.

Thanks so much for your support – it really does make a difference.

A Message About How We Share Images Online

You may have noticed that we have been making some changes to the way we share photographs and images online.

As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding, we are adapting how we showcase school life in response to growing concerns about the misuse and manipulation of children's images, including through AI technologies.

Moving forward, you are likely to see more:
📸 Behind-the-scenes photos showing learning and activities
🎨 Hands-on learning and practical experiences
👥 Photographs focusing on children's work, hands, images taken from behind or without showing full faces where possible

Our aim is simple: to celebrate the learning, creativity, friendships and special moments that make Oughtibridge Primary school life so wonderful, while taking every step we can to protect our children's privacy and safety.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we make this important change.

The first proud recipients of our new 'Resilience Rosette' were recognised in assemblies last week. This new award, given to one pupil in each key stage per week, acknowledges those students who are able to keep going when things are tough, bounce back from setbacks or learn from previous experiences.

Keep your eye out for weekly winners in Celebration Assemblies!

👟 Reminder: School Trainers

To help maintain our smart school appearance and ensure all children feel included and confident, please make sure that any trainers worn to school, including for PE lessons, are completely black.

This means:
✅ Black uppers
✅ Black soles
✅ Black logos, stripes and laces
❌ No coloured branding, soles or accents

Having a consistent uniform helps children feel part of our school community, reduces comparisons between different brands and styles, and supports a positive environment for everyone.

Thank you for your support in helping us keep our children looking smart and preventing unnecessary issues around fashion and appearance.
