Yeat 6 SATS - May 2025 

As you are aware, we always request that families do not take time off for holidays during term time and this is especially important for children in Year 6 during SATs week. This school year, SATs week will take place from Monday 12th May - Friday 16th May 2024. 

Guidance from the Department for Education states that children will only have the opportunity to retake their SATs tests if they have been absent due to exceptional circumstances - this does not include holidays. Please ensure holidays are not booked during this week. 

Bristol Girls Can - Activity Campaign 

This week, our parents at coffee morning were joined by Alice from the Bristol Girls Can campaign. 

The campaign aims to get women and girls involved in more physical excercise and is supported by Sports England as part of the national 'This Girl Can' scheme. 

Alice would like to speak to parents about the barriers that may be in place in the community that stop them getting involved in sports or excercise - for example cost or availibility. She will be available to the end of the school day on Thursday and Friday of next week to get feedback about this from parents. 

If you happen to miss Alice whilst she's on site, but have any comments or ideas you'd like to share, please speak to Mrs Selway. 

Nursery Newsletter 

We've had another busy week in Nursery and our new children are really starting to settle in. Here's what the class have been up to this week...

Breakfast Club 

This week, we started our trial of free Breakfast Club sessions. Year 6 were invited to join us on Wednesday and we had a great turn out! 

Next week, on Wednesday 9th October we would like to invite all Year 5 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.
