'Love your neighbour as yourself.' Luke 10:27

8-6-26

Dear Parents and Carers,

While the British summer weather has thrown us a few curveballs—only allowing us to successfully run two sports days so far—the school has been as busy and vibrant as ever. Please rest assured that we have already rescheduled our Year 5/6 Mon 22 June and Year 3/4 Friday 26 June sports days.

Innovation in Year 5

Last week, some of our Year 5 children had a fantastic time developing small hydrogen-powered Lego vehicles. This brilliant hands-on STEM project is part of our ongoing development work within our Trust and Hi Impact. The children absolutely loved building and testing their eco-friendly creations, showcasing some wonderful engineering and teamwork skills.

School Policy Reminder: Smartwatches

We kindly request your cooperation with a quick policy reminder: smartwatches are not permitted in school. While standard watches are fantastic for helping children learn to tell the time, devices with internet access, recording capabilities, or messaging functions cause significant distractions and present safeguarding risks. Thank you for ensuring these items remain safely at home.

Important Safety Notice: Staying Safe Near Water

As the weather warms up, many families will be spending more time near water—whether at the coast, rivers, lakes, or canals. While this can be a great way to enjoy the outdoors, it’s important to remember that water can be unpredictable and dangerous.

Please take a few moments to review these essential safety steps with your children:

Know the risks – conditions can change quickly, and it’s easier than you might think to get into difficulty in open water.
Always supervise children closely – closely monitor children and young people around water, even if they can swim.
Avoid jumping into unknown water – there may be hidden hazards, and sudden entry can lead to cold water shock.
Teach children to "Float to Live" – if they get into trouble, tilt your head back, keep your ears submerged, relax, and gently move hands and feet to stay afloat while controlling breathing.
Know how to call for help – in an emergency, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.
