Headteacher’s Newsletter – 20th March 2026
Dear Parents/carers,
iRock Children Raise the Roof!
What an incredible morning we had at the iRock concert! Our talented students showcased their musical abilities, bringing the school community together in a celebration of creativity. The atmosphere was electric, filled with the sounds of various bands performing a delightful mix of genres. Our children truly raised the roof!
Music Festival Winners
We are thrilled to announce that our Year 4 students have won the prestigious Catherine Harrison memorial award for Speech and Drama. This accolade recognises their hard work and talent in the performing arts. The competition was fierce, and our students stood out with their exceptional performances.
One pupil shared, “Winning this award made me feel like a real actor!” This recognition reflects our school’s commitment to fostering determination across all areas of learning. These experiences build resilience and show hard work can bring good rewards.
Holiday Club at The Treehouse
This is now open! If you would like your child to attend but may need support financially, we may be able to help you with this. Contact the school office for support.
Multi-skills
Year 2/3 worked hard on a number of activities relating to fundamental PE skills. They were exceptionally well behaved and participated brilliantly alongside children from other schools in the partnership.
Year 4 Assembly
What a fantastic assembly we had from Year 4, where students took us on an exciting journey into the world of volcanoes! Their creative presentations integrated geography and the arts, allowing them to express complex ideas engagingly. The assembly was filled with enthusiasm, and the catchy song they performed entertained while reinforcing their learning.
Students shared key points about how volcanoes are formed and their impact on the environment, impressing parents with their depth of knowledge. Assemblies like this are vital for developing public speaking skills and confidence. We encourage families to explore further topics related to volcanoes at home.
Absolutely Astounding Attendance
We are delighted to recognise our students for their outstanding attendance this term! Consistent attendance is crucial for academic success, and we commend those who have made it a priority. This commitment reflects their dedication to learning.
To celebrate this achievement, we have compiled attendance statistics highlighting impressive trends within our school community. Recognising these efforts fosters a culture of responsibility among our pupils. As we continue to promote a culture of attendance, we encourage parents to share strategies that help maintain good attendance at home.
