Dear Parents and Carers,

As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding and ensuring the safety of all pupils and staff, we will be carrying out a practise lockdown drill today.

This is in line with our statutory duty and the principles outlined in Martyn’s Law, which aims to strengthen security and preparedness in public spaces, including schools. The purpose of this drill is to ensure that everyone knows what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency situation.

Please be assured that this will be done sensitively and in an age-appropriate way. Staff will explain the process to pupils in a calm and reassuring manner, emphasising that this is simply a precautionary measure—similar to our regular fire drills. Our priority is to make sure children feel safe and supported throughout.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our school community safe.

Yours Sincerely

Mrs L Partington

Next week from Monday 9th to Friday 13th our focus will be on collecting food donations. Here is a list of items you can bring:

• Cereal
• UHT milk
• Tinned meals
• Tinned food
• Pot noodles
• Noodles, rice and pulses
• Cooking sauces
• Biscuits, crisps and chocolate

We would ask, if you are able, for your child to bring in one item from the list above. The following week we will be focusing on collecting toiletries.  

Thank you for your support

Summer Term dates for parents & carers 2024

On Thursday 28th March at 2.45pm we would like to invite our parents and carers into school to watch our Easter Bonnet parade. Easter Bonnets (hats) were traditionally worn on Easter Sunday to mark the end of Lent and to symbolise renewal and rebirth. Children are invited to make their own bonnet or hat at home to wear during the parade, children will also have the opportunity to make hats in school too.

Here are some ideas for Easter bonnets.

Reminder that school will be closed to children on Monday 11th March as staff have a training day. 

School will be open as normal on Tuesday 12th March. 

Thank you

We have been teaching mindfulness, across all year groups in our school for five years. Brianna Ghey’s mum wants to raise money and awareness so children in all schools across the UK are taught how to regulate themselves, to recognise when they are feeling ‘wobbly’, what to do when feeling anxious or stressed and how to be ‘present’.
We are very proud to be associated with the ‘Peace in Mind’ campaign (in memory of the murdered teenager) and look forward to continuing our work with Mrs Beattie our Mindfulness Coach and Esther Ghey.
Thank you to all our Year 2 parents who gave permission for their children to be filmed, due to time constraints (by the media and PR company) they were only able to film one session.
BBC Breakfast were also filming and the section is due to be aired some time this week.
