⚠️☀️Important update ☀️⚠️

Thank you for your understanding today when we offered an optional early collection from school. We have taken the decision to fully close tomorrow from 1:30pm due to extremely high temperatures in school and the forecast being hotter for tomorrow.

Please collect your child at 1:30pm from their usual door. Afternoon Nursery will be completely closed.

Thank you for understanding; please be assured that this decision hasn't been taken lightly, and that safeguarding all children and staff has driven the decision. We will keep you updated regarding Friday.
Thank you for your understanding.

Our Year 4 girls had an amazing day at Wolverhampton Girls’ High School today. They took part in Spanish, drama, team‑building and sports — and came home with two awards: Sportsperson and Star Pupil🥇🏆

So proud of them all☺️💜

Dear Parents and Carers

We have taken the decision to offer two collection times tomorrow (Wednesday 24th June) and Thursday 25th June due to difficulties being caused by the heat. Classrooms in school today were very hot, and we are unable to cool the children or staff down; this could lead to people being unwell, and to frayed tempers as everyone’s tolerance level lessens in extreme heat. Our building does not offer enough shade or cool points, and 30 children in a classroom only adds to the heat.

You will be able to collect your children at either 1:30pm or at 3:30pm, from their usual collection points. We cannot accommodate children being collected at other times throughout the afternoon as this is impractical from a school point of view. As you are hopefully aware, all clubs have been cancelled for this week.

Where possible, we would encourage the 1:30pm collection, as the children have found it incredibly challenging to concentrate and learn this afternoon; the school heats up all morning and we are unable, despite our best efforts with fans and ventilation, to cool it down below 30̊

💜📚Drop everything and read📚💜

At 2pm on Friday, something truly incredible happened! 📚✨

Across the entire REAch2 Academy Trust, over 20,000 children and 3,500 staff all paused what they were doing and picked up a book to read together!

Together, we’ve made history by breaking a Reach2 record and have proudly completed one of our 11before11 promises! ✅💜

‼️☀️Warm weather: important information☀️‼️

Dear Parents and Carers,

Due to the high temperatures forecast for the coming week, we would like to ensure that all pupils remain as comfortable as possible while in school.

As a temporary measure, children may wear their PE kit in place of their usual uniform for the duration of the hot weather this week.

Please ensure that:

- PE kit is in line with the school’s uniform policy (appropriate shorts, t-shirt, and suitable footwear)
- Children bring a water bottle each day
- Sun protection is applied before school, and children may bring hats if they wish

We will continue to monitor the weather and will update you if there are any further changes.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

🥪☀️Family Picnic ☀️🥪

It was lovely to see so many families joining us at lunchtime yesterday, enjoying the sunshine and coming together as a school community.
There were lots of smiles and great conversations as everyone spent time together. 💜☺️

⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Go England!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️

World Cup fever swept through school today as the children came dressed in England kits and colours in preparation for England’s first match tonight. Plenty more proudly represented other teams from around the world too.

The atmosphere was brilliant and the children looked incredible. Wishing England the best of luck for tonight’s game🏆⚽️

🚒🔥 Fire Journey Day🔥🚒

What an absolutely fantastic day we had across the whole school! From our youngest learners to our oldest pupils, everyone threw themselves into our Fire Journey activities with so much enthusiasm.

Children enjoyed hands-on firefighter role play, created brilliant artwork inspired by flames and fire safety, produced detailed research posters linked to historical events, wrote some truly impressive fire-themed writing and even practised the important safety technique Stop, Drop and Roll. The creativity and curiosity on display were incredible.

It was a day full of imagination, teamwork, and learning — and we couldn’t be prouder of our pupils.

Well done, everyone! 🔥✨
