Also thank you for providing refreshments at our Christmas performances. All the money raised benefits all of our children in many different ways. Thank you all for giving your time and for making our events fun!

November 2024
Welcome back to our new half term.
With the darker evenings, we will be taking part in Road Safety activities across school.
Being visible to other road users is important all year round, whether walking, cycling, scooting or wheeling. However, it is especially important during the autumn and winter months when days are shorter and evenings longer.
We can improve our visibility and help drivers and other road users see us by wearing light, bright and fluorescent clothing or accessories in the day, and reflective clothing or accessories in the evening. If cycling, we must make sure our bicycles have a working white front light, and red back light.
A simple message is to help us remember this is ‘Be Bright Be Seen’.
- Termly Learning Conferences TLC information letter plus TLC and assessment leaflets are available on the letters page, school website. Please ensure you have booked an appointment.
- Our school council have decided they would like to have a non uniform day for Children in Need on 15th November. We can wear yellow or spotty clothing! All donations will be sent to the Children In Need Charity.
- 14.11.24 - Anti-bullying day
- 29.11.24 - Yrs1-6 trip to Panto.
- 6.12.24 - Non uniform day in exchange for a Christmas raffle item.
- 6.12.24 - PSA Christmas Fair
- 12.12.24 - Christmas Jumper Day for ’Save the Children’

20th November 2024
As a school, we are working towards a Road Safety Award. This week is Road Safety Awareness Week and Mrs Hope hosted an assembly about being a Road Safety Hero! There are so many ways that we can all be road safety heroes. If you make the safest choices by the road and encourage your friends and family to make safe choices as road users too, we can all work together to reduce the number of people injured on Warwickshire’s roads. How are you going to be a hero next time you are near the road?
