Please remember to book your child into after-school clubs, so that registers can be prepared in advance of the clubs and staff know how many children are attending. We ask that children are collected promptly at 4:30pm please.

As we explained in our clubs letter last week, we are trialling a Sunset Club. This is in response to the summer term parent survey, which identified a need for this provision.  Take-up so far has been very low and it will not be viable for us to continue the club if numbers do not increase. The club runs from 4:30pm to 5:30pm Monday to Thursday and includes a hot snack and drink for only £4 per session per child.

Dear Friends,

Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for our end-of-year Celebration Assembly. Having families join us again in school, for our first summer assembly in three years, was just the perfect end to our school year. It was wonderful to be able to share the children’s achievements and hard work with you, and we are so proud of each and every one of them. They truly are amazing!

Safer School Initiative (see below for link to online survey)

The Safer School initiative, created by West Mercia Police and supported by Shropshire Council, is a school security initiative that encompasses personal safety.

As part of our Safer School accreditation, we survey parents annually about our school grounds/site. The responses are reviewed and discussed at a Safer School meeting with school representatives.

The essential elements of the package are as follows: –

1. Implement basic security measures applicable at all schools i.e. property marking, and visitor passes etc.
2. Consider pro-active security/safety measures for the site/building and/or protecting assets.
3. Establish a procedure for recording incidents i.e. anti social behaviour, vandalism etc. Any recorded information can then be analysed. In addition, the same recording procedure can be used for surveying a problem i.e. an unauthorised thoroughfare.
4. If there are any projects to be undertaken, they are prioritised. Following the implementation of a project, the success of it is reviewed.
5. PSHE or education of pupils as per the Safer School pack.

As part of the process, we would appreciate your views. Please click below to complete the short online form and we thank you for taking the time to do so.
