RSE Consultation with Parents
Relationships Education is a compulsory part of the school curriculum and is taught alongside our core PSHE programme.
We are currently using the 'Life to the Full' programme, which has been produced by the Catholic education organisation, Ten Ten Resources.
When we introduced this scheme parents were invited to be involved in a full consultation, so we would like to take this opportunity to touch base with parents who may be new to the school to allow them to view the materials available and have their say.
We would like to invite parents to view the materials available, and then join us for a meeting on Tuesday 22nd October at 9.30am. Please contact the school office if you would like to attend.
This meeting would give parents an opportunity to learn a little more about how this particular topic is taught.
To access the course materials, please click the logo below:

Once you have viewed the materials, please contact the school office to book a place at the consultation meeting. We look forward to working with parents to support all of our pupils in this area.

Nursery Newsletter
We've had another busy week in Nursery! Here's what the class have been up to this week...
Breakfast Club
Our trial of free Breakfast Club sessions have been running for the past few weeks and we've had a great turn out of Year 5 and Year 6 pupils join us to see what's on offer before school each day.
Next week, on Wednesday 16th October we would like to invite all Year 4 pupils in for a free taster session.
Breakfast Club runs from 8am daily and not only gives children a chance to enjoy a healthy breakfast with friends, it also supports attendance, ensuring children are in school on time ready to start the school day.
There is no need to book these free sessions, children are welcome to just turn up, provided they arrive before 8.20am when the doors will close.
We look forward to seeing lots of families using these sessions, and hopefully attending Breakfast Club more regularly.
