Good afternoon,

Our plans for home time...

At 3.10 pm, all of the staff and children will gather on the playground to say our final farewell to our Year 6 children with our traditional ringing of the school bells. Children and staff will create a tunnel for our Year 6 children to walk through onto the playground.

At 3.15pm children can be collected.

Please note that children in Saplings, Maple, Cherry and Cedar, will need to be collected from our forest area on the playground. Teachers will only release children with the adult that is collecting them.

Please do come along and join us!

Sporty Scholars will also be offering an after school swim club 🏊‍♀️🤿 in additional to our other clubs.

🤩We are delighted to share with you that 84 children attended our Attendance Celebration event yesterday afternoon 🎉

These children had achieved at least 97% attendance during the 2023 – 2024 academic year – an amazing achievement! 🤩 The children received a certificate 📜 and watched the film “Encanto” 🎞 whilst enjoying a drink 🥤and popcorn 🍿.

Within this group, we also had some children who had achieved 100% attendance for the academic year which is an outstanding achievement! These children received a certificate and an Amazon gift voucher.

Well done to all of these children. We hope to see an even higher number of children next year 😊

The children in Key Stage 2 took part in some Judo taster sessions throughout the day on Thursday 11th July. A big thank you to ‘Judo Rob’ 🥋 Higham & Rushden Judo Club who taught our children a few judo moves!

Can you help us.......

Does anyone have a 'table top' football game that we could borrow as a prop for our Year 6 leavers assembly. We don't need one with legs it is just one that sits on a table.

Ideally we would need this for Monday for our rehearsals.

Please email us if you can help 😊

💥Class Assembly - Saplings 💥

Our class assembly will take place on Thursday 11th July at 2.30pm in the hall.

Due to the size of the hall, we do have to limit the number of tickets to two per child.

Tickets need to be booked through the school shop section on your child's Arbor account from today.

We look forward to seeing your there 🙂

The PTFA Needs your Help!!!!

We have only had 2 nominations in for the 3 positions we need to run our PTFA.

Just to summarise, we need to have nominations for a chair, treasurer and a secretary. A minimum of 15 people will need to attend the AGM on Tuesday 9th July to vote so we can elect the 3 main positions of the PTFA committee.

Unfortunately, if we do not have people in the 3 positions mentioned, we won't be able to run our PTFA which will impact on the amount of fund raising we can do.

So please can you help us!!!!

We need more nominations for the 3 positions mentioned above (or at least one more!), please send in a small paragraph about yourself asap.
We need at least 15 people to come along to the meeting on Tuesday 9th July at 3.45pm to vote in the committee consisting of a chair, treasurer and a secretary,

If you would just like to help out with the PTFA and not have one of the 3 positions, that is absolutely fine, we just need you to come along and support us

Don't forget we are offering refreshments too!!! ☕🍪

Sports Day - Update🏅

It is with great regret that we are postponing our sports day today.

Mr Davies and Mrs Turner have been glued to the forecast all morning and it does not look promising for the rest of the day.

They have not taken this decision lightly and they have already started to make plans for when we are able to rearrange the opportunity for our children to take part in sports day.

The staff are very upset as they were looking forward to it as much the children were! 😢

🌞🏊‍♂️Please see the posters for various fun activities taking place during the summer in East Northants.🏃‍♀️🌲⛳️🎾🛝

👕PE T-Shirts 👕

From September, we will no longer be having our coloured T-Shirts for PE.

Our forest houses will still be in place, however, children will not need to wear the coloured T-Shirts.

A plain white T-Shirt is all they need and these are available from most supermarkets. If you prefer a more sporty style then we do have them for sale from our uniform stockists Karl Sports in Kettering 🙂
