Welcome back, I hope you had a relaxing Easter break.
Term 5 is a short term but nevertheless a busy one, with school trips, spring music concert (see information below), bikeability for Year 5, Year 6 SATs and our Year 1 class service and Tea @ 3.
It is hard to believe that we have just one more week and we will be breaking up for the Easter holidays. Term 4 has been really busy, but there has been so much to celebrate. Our success in the Rotary competitions continues, with three of our pupils being awarded the top prices in the Young Musician competition. We have also had great success with our netball and girls’ football teams as they performed brilliantly in their matches and have now progressed on to the regional stages of their competitions.
The term has started with some lovely bright sunshine and the children have had their first opportunity, of the year, to play on the main school field. We really are very fortunate to have such super grounds for them to enjoy.
This term has flown by! The children have been really busy showcasing their learning in their spring assessments as well as enjoying trips to the SS Great Britain (for year 2), Design and Technology days, visits from Farmlink and a trip to Life Skills (for year 6). This week, pupils from years 5 and 6 are taking part in the North Somerset school’s swimming gala. We wish them all the best of luck.
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a relaxing and fun filled Christmas holiday. We are very much looking forward to welcoming all the children back to school tomorrow, ready for an exciting term of learning.
On this, the last day of term, our school is a festive scene of Christmas jumpers and outfits. There was much excitement as the children looked forward to their special Christmas lunch and final whole school service.
This week, we are looking forward to our first round of parents’ meetings. It is great to see that almost all families have signed up to meet with their child’s class teachers. These opportunities to talk about how your child is learning are really important. Research shows that when parents/carers work in partnership with the school, to support their child’s learning, the child makes additional progress across the year.
I wanted to start by thanking all of our families for their support on census day. The catering team did an excellent job in preparing all of the lunches; there were lots of happy smiles all around. We are already thinking ahead to census day on the 16th January, when we will need to do it all again. This time, I am told, we will be able to use the normal Aspens Select booking system, which should make things much easier for everyone. Once again, thank you for your support.
Excitement is building for our Year 5 class as they prepare for their residential trip to Osmington Bay. We wish them the very best of luck and look forward to hearing about their adventures and achievements.

NEWSLETTER NO. 2
Wednesday 25th September 2024
After a beautiful week last week, the weather has taken a distinct turn for the wetter. Please can you ensure your child brings a named coat every day as we will take any chance we can to let our children have an active lunchtime.
It was lovely to see so many happy faces coming into school last week. The first week back is always quite special and despite the best efforts of the rain and wet playtimes, the excitement for learning was evident in every class.
last week ended on a high with our last T@3 of the year and a super class service, led by our Reception Class. This week is another busy week with our final ‘stay and play’ session for our new Reception pupils, ‘moving up day’ for the rest of the school and our annual whole school sports day, on Friday. I look forward to seeing you on the school field on Friday (keeping everything crossed for good weather).
With kind hearts and determined minds, we inspire each other to be the best we can be.
We start our new term by once again celebrating the success of our children in their sporting achievements. In our last newsletter, we were wishing our boys football team the very best of luck on their memorable trip to Derby County Football Ground for the small school national finals. I am pleased to share that the team had an amazing experience, showcasing some fantastic footballing skill and great sportsmanship. We are so proud of them all! Please see below our thanks to our generous sponsors who made the whole trip possible. Our success continued with our Girls’ football team finishing the term winning the next round in their football competition. They are now heading off for the county finals on the 17th June. We wish them all the very best of luck. Term 6 promises to be another busy term, with much more to enjoy and celebrate. With kind hearts and determined minds, we inspire each other to be the best we can be.
