It has been brought to my attention today that some incorrect information is being shared amongst parents regarding our school status. On behalf of the governors, I can confirm that we are not forming a multi-academy trust with Woodfield Infant School and St George’s Junior School in Shrewsbury and neither are we in the process of joining another academy. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to me. Thank you

Due to the weather forecast – rain for Friday and near-freezing temperatures on Saturday – we have decided to cancel the gardening day for this weekend.  We will let you know, as soon as a new date has been arranged. Thank you

Craft Club will not be running again (this week was the last session) and we would like to say a big thank you to Kerry for giving up her time over recent months to organise and run the club for us.

Next Wednesday there will be a combined Colouring and Computer Club but no Multi-sports Club, due to parent meetings taking place in the Hall.

From Wednesday 28th March, and after Easter, there will be: Colouring Club for Nursery, Reception, Years 1, 2 and 3, and Multi-sports for Years 4, 5 and 6. Thank you.

Please keep an eye on the school website and Shropshire Council website on Friday morning to check if the school is open.  We will make the decision as early as possible on Friday morning if we need to close.

Changes to Clubs

In response to parents’ requests, we are starting a Homework Club next Monday for Key Stage 2 children; this will run instead of Science Club.  At Homework Club, children will be able to complete any homework set by their class teacher, as well as read with an adult or carry out revision or research linked to what they have been doing in class.

We are currently monitoring attendance at all clubs and we will reduce the clubs that are provided, if we find that some are no longer viable.

Year 6 SATs Booster

Year 6 SATs Booster will run every Monday from 26^th February from 3:15 to 4:30 and we hope that all Year 6 children will be able to attend. A parent meeting will be arranged before Easter, to provide information on the SATs which take place in May.

World Book Day – Reminder

As in previous years, we are taking part in World Book Day next week on Thursday 1st March.  Children can come to school dressed up as a book character of their choice and there will be a prize for each class, including Nursery, for the best costume. We can’t wait to see who or what the children dress up as!

We hope you have had a good half-term and we look forward to seeing all the children again on Monday 26th.

World Book Day – Thursday 1st March

As in previous years, we are taking part in World Book Day the first week back after half-term (Thursday 1st March.)  Children can come to school dressed up as a book character of their choice and there will be a prize for each class, including Nursery, for the best costume. We can’t wait to see who or what the children dress up as!

Government’s height and weight check – Reception and Year 6

Finally…

On behalf of all the staff, thank you for all your support this half term.  It has been a busy few weeks and we are very proud of how hard the children have worked.  We hope you all enjoy the half-term holiday and look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday 26th February.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Valentine’s disco and to FOBS and other parents who organised and helped out at the event.  The total amount raised was £290 which is a fantastic effort.

Thank you again.
