Easter Service Celebration
It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Easter service today. We are grateful to Revd. Dan for an inspiring and enjoyable service. The children spoke and sang beautifully.
Parents Consultations
I am pleased to report a great sign up for our parents/carers consultations. These meetings are crucial for creating a strong partnership between parents/carers and the school, and they play a significant role in supporting our pupils’ academic and social development. I am always so proud of how much our children achieve both academically and socially. I hope you enjoy looking at their work.
OPAL Update
It has been wonderful to see the children playing so freely across the school field, and the tyres have been a huge hit! A big thank you to Mrs Boyle and Miss Schofield for their continued hard work in developing this provision.
Unfortunately, the installation of our new sandpit has been delayed due to some planning barriers. We will keep you updated as soon as we have more information.
In the meantime, we are working on enhancing our digging area and are looking for railway sleepers to help define the space. If you have any sleepers you would be able to donate, we would be extremely grateful. Please let the school office know.
FOGWS
A huge thank you to Mrs Mitson and her wonderful team of volunteers for their hard work and commitment to the FOGWS committee over many years. As you may already know, Mrs Mitson has decided to step down as Chairperson, and several long‑standing committee members will also be finishing at the end of this academic year as their children move on from the school.
This means we are now looking for a new Chairperson, additional committee members, and, of course, more volunteers to help continue the fantastic work FOGWS does for our school community.
To gather some momentum, we have organised a meeting at 3:15pm on Tuesday 14th April in the school hall. Childcare will be provided, so please do come along, find out more, and consider getting involved. Your support would be greatly appreciated.
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
Our pupils in Years 3 and 4 have been learning about the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. They have taken part in discussions exploring fairness, equality, and how we can all play a part in challenging discrimination.
The NSPCC has some really helpful guidance for parents on how to talk to children about racism and racial bullying. You can find their advice by following this link - Talking to children about racism
As we approach the Easter break, we would like to take a moment to thank all our families for their ongoing support and involvement in our school community. I look forward to seeing many of you at the parents’ consultations this week.
Looking ahead, please keep an eye on our school calendar for upcoming events and activities. We wish you all a joyful Easter break filled with happiness and family time.
Happy Easter!
Mrs Justine Brooks
