Aspiration Maps (5th May 2023)
We would like to invite all parents and carers from Reception to Year 6 into our classrooms on Friday, 5th May at 9am to help us to complete our aspirations maps! This will be a short activity where you will have the opportunity to work with your children to discuss their future dreams and aspirations then complete a short activity with them. We appreciate that not all parents and carers will be able to attend due to working commitments. Please let your child’s teacher know if you can’t attend and we can send the aspirations map home for you to complete together with your child at home.
Bake Sale
Imaani and Zavien K hosted a bake sale with the support of their parents to celebrate Eid. They raised a huge £167.50. Thank you to all our children and parents who made a purchase. They have raised enough money to sponsor an orphan for a whole year!
Coronation event (4th May 2023)
We will be celebrating the King’s Coronation with various activities all day and then continuing the celebrations after school at the King’s Coronation PTA event at 3.15.
Thursday May 4th will be a non-school uniform day and the children can dress in red, white or blue..
Clubs
It has been great to see after school clubs re-starting this week.
It is important that the children commit to their clubs and attend every week unless there is a valid reason. If there is a valid reason why they can’t attend, please ensure the office is informed.
All clubs will now finish at the same time at 4:15pm.

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.’
