Lainesmead Primary School

🌟 Celebrating Successes and Special Moments 🌟

We had lots to celebrate in yesterday’s assembly!

A huge well done to the pupil who received their Science certificate, having been absent when it was originally awarded, and to all of our children who were recognised for their fantastic Doodle streaks. Your commitment and perseverance are brilliant to see! 👏📚

We also celebrated the winners of the Friends of Lainesmead competition — congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you to our Friends for continuing to provide such lovely opportunities for the children. 🎉

Finally, we shared two very special staff moments. We wished Mrs Purves lots of luck as she prepares to leave Lainesmead and move back to Yorkshire — she will be greatly missed. We also congratulated Mrs Curtis, who is getting married over the summer and will return to us in September as Mrs Ellis! 💐💍

A lovely assembly full of achievement, celebration and warm wishes. 💙

🎉 A huge well done to our Friends of Lainesmead Primary School and Nursery! 🎉

Their recent fundraising has been a fantastic success:

* The Big Raffle raised £402
* The Summer Hamper Raffle raised £358
* That’s an amazing £760 in total!

Every penny will go towards supporting our OPAL provision and the continued development of our school grounds, helping us create even more exciting, creative and enriching play opportunities for our children.

A huge thank you to our Friends for all the time, effort and organisation they put in, and to every family who bought tickets, donated prizes or supported the raffles.

We are so grateful for your continued support. What a brilliant community we have! 💚🌿✨

Our Y6 Prefects enjoyed a well deserved pizza party today! 🍕 🎉
Thank you for all your hard work throughout the year - a fantastic way to celebrate your achievements together! 🌟

⚠️ A reminder to keep safe ⚠️

Following information shared with local schools, we would like to remind all families to talk to their children about staying safe when walking to and from school or when out in the community.

Please remind children to:
🚶 Stay with friends or trusted adults where possible.
📱 Tell a trusted adult where they are going and when they expect to arrive.
🚫 Never go anywhere with someone they don’t know.
🗣️ If someone makes them feel uncomfortable, move to a safe place straight away and tell a trusted adult or call for help.
🏪 If they need help, go into a busy shop or public place and ask a responsible adult for assistance.

There is no cause for alarm but it is always a good opportunity to reinforce these important safety messages with children.

Thank you for your continued support in helping to keep our children safe.
