We Are The Champions!

Congratulations to our Year 6 Quiz Team who won first place in yesterday’s final! It was a tense time as

we moved from third position into second and then slayed the competition in the final few rounds to win the

trophy. We are now the reigning champions for the fourth consecutive year!

Our team members are: Hannah Warner, Dylan Sykes, Jack Perham, Ellie Riley, Maisie Hodder, Jessica

Boland, Bobby Paley, Antony Younis, Joanna Edwards, Kieran Munn, Millie Knowles and Lyla James. Well

done to our super Quiz Masters!

Parent Parking

Parent parking remains a huge concern at our

school. Almost daily we see parents parking on

the double yellow lines outside of the school

building. This is not permitted and is

potentially life threatening for our children.

We are looking into having members of staff

outside the building on a regular basis to monitor

and record the number plates of any vehicles

breaching the parking rules.

We are taking this matter very seriously and our

School Council have even decided to make a

video highlighting the dangers to our children.

The video is available to view via a protected

link on our website. Please take some time to

have a look. We really appreciate your support

in this matter.

SHERPA Kids Closure

If parents of children who were using SHERPA

Kids have any continuing concerns regarding

the closure then please feel free to contact

Mr. Owen. Please be assured the closure was

a necessary move on the school’s part and the

decision was agreed by the local authority’s

safeguarding representative who visited the

school on the Friday before half term.

Mr. Owen is currently investigating several

avenues in an attempt to offer extended hours

to support families but this takes time and

procedures need to be followed. We will keep

parents updated once we have any

confirmation. Many thanks for your continued

support and understanding in this matter.

Adaptability
