Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

June 10th, 2022

Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

We celebrated the Queen’s platinum jubilee by making and designing our own crowns; red, white and blue pom-pom shakers, paper chains and bunting. We also wore red, white and blue clothing. We joined together as a whole school with our families for a tea party which included a jubilee quiz, cakes and ice lollies! A great time was had by all.

Beach Clean & Litter Pick

June 10th, 2022

Following a break due to COVID restrictions our eco-committee has been back up and running since September 2021 and working behind the scenes on various new initatives as we work towards becoming a greener school.

The first of these initiatives to come to fruition was a litter pick and beach clean in Brixham on a sunny saturday in April. !4 children and their grown ups joined us and we collected 5 black sacks worth of rubbish and enjoyed a celebratory drink and biscuit on the beach afterwards. A huge thank you to all who came to join us.

The following week during a lunch playtime the eco-committe completed a litter pick around our school grounds. #careforourcommonhome

GIFT Team

June 10th, 2022

Our school GIFT (growing in faith together) team have been hard at work since they applied and were appointed to their positions. We came together and discussed various ideas as to how we could grow the faith in our school and community, creating an action plan for the next term. First on their list was to honour our mothers in some way as Mothering Sunday was approaching, they created flower posies and held a special celebration assembly, which was beautiful. Their second action was to create a prayer station outside the hall for all to access. The prayer station will be updated each month with a different theme, the children decided that this first month our prayers should go to the people of the Ukraine.

Lockdown 3

January 4th, 2021

We are so sorry to posting this so late, but unfortunately the school communication system keeps crashing and we belief that is as a result of many schools trying to message parents.

We are sure you have heard the government announcement regarding the immediate moving of learning to remote (online) learning from tomorrow, with little time for school staff to get organised. We have held an SLT meeting and liaised with staff (at 9pm) and we are going to inevitably need the day tomorrow to get organised and ensure everything is in place. This means tomorrow the school will be closed to ALL pupils. Provision will then be firmly in place by Wednesday 6th January.

Whilst I recognise this will prove difficult for some of you, staff need to take the time to make contact with families to clarify the next steps and how things will work.

Whilst children are at home tomorrow they will be able to access learning on googleclassroom, IXL and TTrockstars. Teachers are all contactable via their emails and will do what they can to communicate with you.

Please bear with us for the next 24 hours and we will endeavour to pull out all the stops to support our children in terms of learning and their wellbeing. This is the last thing our school staff wanted for our children and please remain assured that they will be at the forefront of everything we do.

Meanwhile, we need to gather information regarding:

Are you a key worker (these needs to be both parents if living with both)? If yes, what days would you require your child to be in school.

Is your child categorised as vulnerable and on what grounds?

Do you have access to wifi?

Have you got suitable devices – laptop, chromebook, ipads, that you can use?

Although we have gathered much of this information before, some of it may have changed and therefore we want to make sure we are as up to date as possible. Please could you therefore email this information to your child’s teacher.

God bless to you all and we will be in touch again tomorrow.
