and we will try to keep it that

way!

We were delighted to share

our Outstanding Ofsted judge-

ment with you and will discuss

with Governors the best way

for the school to celebrate this

ongoing achievement. We

would like to do something that involves the whole school

community!

Here’s to another successful

year!

I would like to warmly wel-

come everyone back after the

summer holidays… it’s hard to

believe that we have already

had a month of the new aca-

demic year! This newsletter

will let you know about some

of the activities that have al-

ready taken place!

I would like to say “Hello!” to

all our new families; in the

Nursery, Reception class, LDC

and also the few children who

have joined us throughout the

rest of the school. Please re-

member that if you are

unsure about anything

there are always people

who you can ask:

Other parents

Class teachers or TAs

Office staff

Me!

We are a friendly bunch and

I’m sure that you will soon feel

very much part of our school

community.

During the summer holidays

the school had a bit of a spruce

up through external decora-

tions and internally the hall was

painted. We also bought new

sheds and bins to help keep the

school clean and tidy. Every-

where is looking immaculate

We have just returned from

the Year 6 residential trip to

Norfolk Lakes, where a great

time was had by all!

Children took part in many

adventurous activities and

really challenged themselves

to overcome fears and im-

prove performance.

Their behaviour was impec-cable and made Miss Robert-

son, Mr Rackham and me

very proud of them.

I would like to take this op-

portunity to remind parents

that children should be in

school uniform every day.

Children should not wear

jewellery (including wrist-

bands) however they can wear

watches or fitbits as long as

these do not distract them

during lesson time.

Children should be clean and

tidy for school and should not

have painted nails.

Children in the Nursery do

not need to wear school uni-

wish.

Thank you for your coopera-

Uniform

Sal’s Shoes

Amazingly, we managed to

send over 200 pairs of shoes

to this worthwhile charity. A

very kind gentleman, Rob,

transported 12 boxes packed

full of children’s shoes to the

Sal’s Shoes warehouse in

Slough from where the shoes

will be transported to Africa

and other less wealthy coun-tries. The money raised on

our “wear your favourite

shoes to school” day will go

towards transporting the

shoes abroad. Thank you to

everyone for your support!

“We collected

more than 200

fortunate than

us!”

We all had great fun

on the Low Ropes and

worked together to make sure that we stayed safe!

Our Vision

Our Teachers… are creative, engaging and adventurous, offering an excellent curriculum that challenges and

inspires to ensure every child is ACHIEVING. Our Children… learn resilience and are happy, confident and independent learners who thrive on celebrating

their SUCCESS. Our School…is a safe and nurturing environment, where everyone works TOGETHER to role model our core values of

respect, trust and honesty.

Using real tools to make things outdoors.

We have started our Forest

Schools program this term

and the children in Year 3 are

the first to have a go. They

have already really enjoyed

being outside trying lots of

activities that have not

previously been possible.

Mr Rackham has completed

his training and is being assisted by Mr Turner (who is

also taking some super

photographs).

All children from Year 1 to

Year 6 will get the

opportunity to take part in

Forest Schools as part of our

curriculum.

Children in the Nursery and

Reception already spend 50%

of their curriculum time

outdoors which includes some

Forest School type activities.

The aim of forest schools is to

build and enhance self-esteem

through play, exploration and

managed risks in an outdoor

or wooded environment. We

shall be using the school

grounds to complete the child

– driven activities.

Please keep an eye on the

website for regular updates!
