PTA
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to our fantastic PTA for their incredible fundraising efforts this year – all made possible with the support of our wonderful families.
The PTA is currently very short on members and are unfortunately looking at the possibility of closing. A meeting will be held on 2nd September to discuss the future of the PTA. If you’re able to offer any support – big or small – please consider attending. Every helping hand makes a difference!
Colour Run
Just over a week to go to our Colour Run! (Wednesday, 16th of July at 3:30pm)
For your child to join in the colour run it will cost £6. Please bring the signed waiver and
£6 in a labelled envelope up to the office at your earliest convenience- spares available. All children who have paid in advance will be given a green wristband on Wednesday 16th July to wear so staff know they have paid. There will be spaces available on the day- but I’d highly recommend doing it in advance so the waiver is already completed.
This event will involve powder paint being thrown at your child (exciting!) this powder isn’t harmful to people/animals but could aggravate asthma, please consider your child’s individual needs before giving consent for them to take part.
The colour powder is made from corn starch, dyed with food-grade colouring. The specific ingredients are here: Corn Starch (CAS #9005-25-8), Saleratus, Sodium Chloride Tri calcium phosphate, Preservative (E-218)(CAS NO. 99-76-3), FD&C approved colours (FD&C Blue1, FD&C Yellow5, FD&C Yellow6, FD&C Red3) Please consider any allergies your child may have to these ingredients before giving consent to take part.
All participating children will need to wear a white/pale tshirt- this will definitely get messy! We will be providing each child with a pair of sunglasses which must be worn during the run as eye protection. At the end of the run the children will be taken to the hall to wash their hands. If you have any questions about the event- please let me know and I’ll be happy to help

Attendance Matters
The United Nation Article 28 states ‘every child has the right to have a primary education’. We are linking our attendance performance to this article.
We want our children to have the best possible education to give them the best chance in life. If your children aren’t in school we can’t give them this opportunity and can’t give them the opportunity to ‘be the best they can be.’

Online Safety – Horror Games/ Videos
We are increasingly worried to hear that some children are playing horror gamesor watching horror videos that are not intended for young audiences. These games/ videos often contain graphic and disturbing content that can be highly damaging to a child’s emotional well-being. Once a child has seen something frightening or traumatic, they cannot simply “unsee” it — the images and feelings can stay with them, causing anxiety, nightmares, and lasting emotional distress. This is a safeguarding concern, and we strongly urge all parents and carers to remain vigilant about the games their children are accessing. Please take the time to check age ratings and understand the content before allowing your child to play or watch anything and ensure your children are closely supervised when accessing online content.
Please click here to find out more about the risks associated with horror games/ videos.
