Dear Parents/Carers,

This week saw all of the children and staff’s work come to fruition as the choir went to Sheffield Arena for the Young Voices concert. They managed to get front row this year so had to really bust their moves as everyone could see! A huge thanks to the children for their commitment to this club, to the staff who support and Miss Moody for organising.

On Monday, we had a Science review. Mr Symes has been working really hard over the past few years to ensure a high standard of Science has been taught in school. With support from the Ogden Trust, he has taken Science to another level and the teachers have access to wonderful resources for teaching Science. I am pleased to say that our visitors were incredibly positive about what they saw – teaching was great and the children were able to speak about Science in an excited and informed way.

Next week, Ian Yapp (CEO) and Melissa Boyes (COO) from STAR MAT will be coming into school to see how my first year is going and to speak to the staff and the children. I am looking forward to sharing some of the wonderful learning your children have done with them and talking about future plans. I really appreciate working within such a supportive team as we are able to share ideas, resources and someone is always on the end of the phone!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Mel Walmsley

Headteacher

After getting back from our residential, it has been lovely to get back into the routine of school. On Tuesday 60 children from years 4/5/6 went to Young Voices in Sheffield. We had front row seats and all had an amazing time, even if we were a bit tired on Wednesday. In worship on Wednesday, a group of year 6s got to talk to the whole school about their experience at Peat Rigg. We hope everyone has a restful weekend.

Head pupil awards go to Howie, Y3 and Bea, Y4
