Well done to all our pupils who received an award or shared an achievement at our achievement assembly. Please see below all our achievements shared.
Our next achievement assembly is on Thursday 29th October, with a twist. More information to follow!
Our pupils had a very successful autumn clean up around the village on Friday 25th September.
There is no obligation, but we would be grateful if you could help by sponsoring your child and by asking family and friends to sponsor too.
All funds collected will be put towards outdoor and playground activities.
If you are able to help, we would ask that all sponsor sheets and collected money be returned to the school in the sealed envelope provided
on Monday 5th October by 12 noon.
Cash can only be collected on this date, as it will be banked at the end of the day as there are no facilities for cash to be stored in school over night.
Thank you

There will be 40 spaces available for each session, including parents/carers – pupils must be accompanied by one adult at all times for Health & Safety.
We look forward to hosting our next achievement assembly on Friday 2nd October.
If your child has celebrated any achievements out-with school e.g. earned a swimming badge, learned to ride their bike, gained badges at a hobby etc., then they are able to bring in such items to share at this special assembly. Alternatively if you would like us to share any photographs or videos of your child’s achievements, please upload these via the Parent Contribution tab on your child’s learning journals.
We look forward to celebrating the success of our pupils!

Please find attached a copy of the presentation from last week’s Sharing the Learning afternoon on the launch of Learning Journals. We have now activated the Parents Contributions, which will allow you to upload any wider achievements for your child/children, which we can then share at our Achievement Assemblies.
If you are experiencing any issues with your child/children’s learning journals, please contact the school.
All pupil’s main contacts should have received an email from Learning Journals today asking you to log into or reset your login password to access the ParentZone.
Please contact the school office if you have not received this email and we can arrange for this to be resent.
More information on the Learning Journals ParentZone will be given today at the Sharing the Learning Event commencing in the school at 2pm.
