We have quite a nasty sickness bug sweeping through school at the moment.

If your child is poorly with either sickness or diarrhoea  please note they need to be off school for 48 hours after the last episode. This way we can ensure that it is not spread amongst others.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Most children don’t write letters

'A survey by the National Literacy Trust has found that two thirds of primary school children and more than three quarters at secondary school never write letters. Those who did pen letters on a regular basis were more likely to have writing skills above the level expected for their age group. '

Daily Telegraph

I just found this piece of research and thought it was interesting enough to share with our school community. Food for thought I think......

Thank you to all families and staff for making this first morning of our new routine such a crisp, productive start.

The children came in to school quietly and calmly, sorted their bags and coats out efficiently and were in the classrooms ready to learn for 9.00am. When I walked the school at 9.05am I was so pleased to see the children working busily in their classrooms and I thank you all for such a good response.

We have registered for the Flora Tubs for Tablets scheme which will give us a free Samsung Galaxy tablet for our school for every 50 tokens we collect from special Flora promotional packs.

The scheme runs up until December and promotional tubs are only available at Tesco.

If you can help us to collect, please bring them in an envelope to the office.

Thank you!

We have just returned from our annual Year  6 Residential Visit Weekend. We left on Friday, June 26th and returned home at 5:30 pm on Sunday June 28th.

 Mrs Eveleigh, Mr Wells,Mr Heathcote, Mrs Kelly and Mr Korcz  took 40 children to The Manor Adventure in Shropshire. We had a fantastic weekend with lots of fun, excitement, friendship and personal challenge. Well done children - you were wonderful to be with. When you first came to this school 7 years ago I was looking forward to the time when I could take you away for a weekend and trust you to behave beautifully, look after yourselves and each other and become independent young people ready for secondary school. You proved that you are all of those things -  I am proud of you all.

Browse through the photos below as a sample of what the children did throughout the weekend.

What a lovely way to spend a Friday evening. Thank you so much to everyone who helped, organised and joined us on Friday for our annual Summer Fair. The weather was kind to us and every where you looked were smiley faces and people have fun. I need to say a huge THANK YOU to our lovely FSA people who have been quietly organising behind the scenes for months to make sure everything was just right. They have been in school this morning counting the money raised and have a fantastic total of £2,000! This money will be used to buy extra special resources for your children next year. Very well done everyone and a special thank you to Mrs Roberts who is the Chair of the Friends Association and who has had several sleepless nights before last Friday!

Mr Korcz has asked me to announce the 'Stars in a Car' results as follows:

Fastest Lap Time:             Ed Donaldson - 29.25 seconds (4 penalty points)

Fastest Clear Lap Time:    Tilly Shaw - 34.62 seconds (no penalty points)

Most Consistent Driver:    James Sadler - 3 lap times under 39 seconds (only 1 penalty point over 3 laps)

A team of our Year 3 and 4 children entered the Grantham Golf Competition.

They were amazing! We had no expectations of doing well at all but they came a fantastic 2nd!

Very well done and thank you Mr Wells for coaching them and taking them to the competition.
