Lawley Village Primary Academy

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our Summer Fair on Thursday 20th July. The first we have hosted in a few years and it was bigger and better than we could have ever imagined! The event wouldn't have been possible without the support and generosity of our whole school community (pupils, parents/carers, staff, and our PTA), and businesses - THANK YOU!
We look forward to organising and hosting many more events in the next academic year.

Ready, Set, Read! is the Summer Reading Challenge for 2023. Please get your children involved over the summer to keep up their love of reading.

The Summer Reading Challenge is delivered by libraries and produced by The Reading Agency. It is open to all children, free of charge.

Telford Bike Hub’s Learn 2 Ride programme. The Bike Hub have Learn 2 Ride sessions taking place all over the summer holidays and parents are encouraged to book in early to avoid disappointment.

They have bikes and helmets that can be hired at no extra cost, so if a child doesn’t have a bike of their own this shouldn’t be a barrier.

Summer Fair on Thursday 20th July 2.00pm-5.00pm see poster for more details.

Year 2 had a brilliant day today! They visited the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre as part of their Science topic on ‘Habitats’.
They had a go at pond dipping, explored a forest and meadow searching for flying and crawling creatures, and even met a woolly mammoth!
The children were all extremely enthusiastic and had a smile on their face during every activity… even if a few of them did get a bit wet!
Well done Year 2! 🌿
