Although we have only been back for 3 weeks the term is already busy, busy, busy!
Open Afternoon
Thanks to all of you who came along to the open afternoon. We loved having you in school and sharing our learning. We hope that you found the information from our partners helpful and benefited from the introductions to these services. Please get in touch if you would like information from any of these partners and we can pass on the details. There are a range of leaflets in school.

Thank you for all the feedback about this event.
100% of you that responded found the afternoon of value. Below are some of the comments you made. We will take on board the all the comments for future open events.
“I enjoyed seeing the range of resources used in school. The children all seemed confident when explaining their learning. It was good to see how the same resources are used in different ways across the whole school. ”
”It was amazing to experience the classroom environment from my son’s point of view, he gave me a little tour and pointed out things that are important to him. I also enjoyed getting to talk to the various organisations present in the hall.”
“Getting to interact with the whole class, getting to know our children’s peers, seeing their work.”
“Seeing the kids before they knew I was there was great. They looked so happy. I loved seeing first hand what they do in class. They were both so proud to show me around. So they should have been! The stalls in the hall were brilliantly set out and, from what I could see, very informative. Great open day!!”
Reporting to Parents
Pupil Progress Reports will be issued on Friday 17th June.
Safer Schools App
We have around 90 downloads of the new school app – this is great! If you have not yet downloaded it please do so. We have added a new calendar section and this will become the main communication platform. We will still post things on Facebook and Twitter but all essential correspondence will come via the app.
Wider Achievements
Please remember to share your child’s achievements out with school with us via our ‘OSCARs’. This can be found on the survey tab of the school app. Well done to Noah, P5, who, as captain of his football team, lifted a runner up trophy in Blackpool last weekend.
Diary Dates
All dates for events this term can be found on the calendar section of the app. More information about individual events will be sent in due course.
Partnerships
We are delighted that we are working alongside FossilField Training Centre this term to offer wellbeing supports. We will also be working with Shire Housing and MUMO on our outside areas. There will be a day of action on 17th May where some classes will work with volunteers. As part of their John Muir Award, P7 will create a wildflower garden on this day.
Our Eco Club have also organised a community litter pick on this day. Please see the information sent out on the app to sign up for this.
Sports Day
This will take place on 20th June. It will follow the same format as last year where you are invited along to spectate the races and activities in the morning. You are then welcome to stay for a picnic lunch with your child/children. We will have a whole range of activities for you take part in with your child/children in the afternoon. This was a great event last year and we are hoping for sunshine again this year.
Parent Council
We are so grateful to the small number of parents currently reestablishing our parent council. Please consider getting involved. The commitment can be as much or as a little as you are able to contribute. Please contact us if you would like your details passed to the parent council. The next meeting is on Tuesday 9th May and this will be held virtually.
Please keep Callagh and Ezra in your thoughts and prayers this weekend as they receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time.
Have a great weekend.
All the Staff
