A MESSAGE FROM MS PAULSON

Dear families, as we come to the end of an extremely hot week in school, we want to thank you for your continued support. The children have been incredible -showing real resilience despite the high temperatures, especially in the classrooms. We are very proud of how well they have coped.

We are also grateful that our Year 6 Shropshire residential and the Year 2 Sleepover took place last week, when the weather was much cooler.

Thank you to all parents and carers for helping us keep the children safe by sending them in suitable clothing, applying sun cream and collecting them early where possible. The reduced numbers in the afternoons have made a noticeable difference for those remaining in school, helping us keep them as cool and comfortable as we can.

We hope you all enjoy a cooler weekend as we look forward to the temperature gradually dropping.

PARKING SAFELY AROUND SCHOOL

We would like to remind everyone of the importance of parking safely and considerately around the school, particularly at busy drop-off and pick-up times.

This week, we were made aware of a serious near miss, where a vehicle was manoeuvring on the pavement while children and families were walking past. Incidents like this are extremely concerning and highlight the very real risks when cars are not parked or driven safely.

To help keep everyone safe please:

• Avoid parking on pavements or in restricted zones
• Respect local parking regulations and signage
• Take extra care when manoeuvring your vehicle
• Consider parking a little further away and walking the final stretch

The safety of our community is a shared responsibility and we are grateful for your support in helping to ensure that all children, families and residents can move around the area safely.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.

YEAR  6 SHROPSHIRE Residential BY ZARA AND GEORGINA

Last week, Year 6 were lucky enough to go on a two-night residential to Shropshire. We set off early and travelled to Alderford Lake Aqua Park to take part in fun water activities. After lunch we set off to our Youth Hostel, Wilderhope Manor, a beautiful Elizabethan Manor house which is over 450 years old. We unpacked, played in the grounds and some of us watched the first half of the England game. Some people had lots of sleep while others had less…

On the Thursday we went to West Midlands Safari Park where we saw many animals, then spent the afternoon at the amusement park - it was awesome.

On our way back, we went to Conkers and did a barefoot walk with lots of different textures, including ice cold water, straw and stones. It was cool.

We were very tired on our return, but we’d like to say a big thank you to all the staff who came with us, who gave their time to make it a very memorable trip.

                        

YEAR 2 SLEEPOVER AT SCHOOL

Year 2 had a fabulous time at their sleepover at school last Thursday. Holly (2F) describes what happened: “We slept in our sleeping bags in the annexe. We had McDonalds for dinner. We played fun games and watched a film before bed”.

SAFEGUARDING IN EDUCATION – DfE SURVEYS

The DfE (Department for Education) have created a survey, seeking views on how children can be kept safe and supported.

They would like to hear from children and young people on their views on how they can access support and stay safe and how the adults supporting them can work together more effectively. The survey can be accessed by clicking here.

There is also a survey for parents and carers to complete. Please click on the following link to access the survey: https://consult.education.gov.uk/statutory-framework-team/improving-help-and-child-protection-revised-fra/.

Both surveys close on Friday 4^th September. Feedback will help the DfE understand what is working well and where changes may be needed.
