A note from Mrs McCormack (Primary Principal):

Dear Parents,

This week, it struck me how our school embodies flexibility, a commitment to learning, and a dedication to excellence. This was particularly clear during our whole-school Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) day. We actively participated in sessions led by three external speakers—Angela Brown, Tom Sherrington, and Gemma Cracker—and reflected on our individual professional growth journeys.

This adaptability was also evident during our Sports Days. Although initially planned for outdoor activities, the heat prompted us to reconsider. As a result, we revamped the format and activities, ensuring an enjoyable, safe and much cooler experience for all participants.

Well done Patana!

RSE Curriculum

Next week taught lessons for our Relationship Sex Education (RSE) curriculum will begin in PSHE lesson time. There will be one lesson per week and the content will be taught by your child's class teacher in their classrooms.

Next week's lesson explores changes and how they are normal and happen everyday. The students explore how  changes can make us feel different emotions and how they might cope with these feelings.

The examples we use range from changing weather to moving home. 

Should you have any questions please do contact your child's class teacher.

Year 2 Sleepover

You should have received an information letter about our Year 2 sleepover that is taking place on Thursday the 30th of May.

Should you have any questions or concerns about your child's participation in the sleepover then please contact their class teacher to discuss our provisions for this exciting event.

Parents Workshop by Tom Sherrington

Thank you for joining us at the 'Supporting Your Child to Develop Independence in Learning’ workshop held on April 30th, 2024.   Here are the slides from the presentation for your reference.

Morning Drop Off at School

As we enter our final term of the academic year we are trying to encourage greater independence in the Year 2 students.

If you drop your children off at the Year 2 building please can we ask that you say your farewells outside, and allow them to come upstairs in the line with their teacher, or independently if they arrive late.

Thank you for supporting us with this.

Happy Birthday to you!

We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school. 

If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts, or cupcakes. 

Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School and also check with the class teacher for any other dietary requirements of the class.
