Throughout the year there are months that celebrate the history of different groups of people. These months help us to learn more about people, their history and their importance to the wider world. Black History Month is celebrated each year in October. It is a chance to celebrate the achievements of black people past and present.

WhatsApp Groups

I have been made aware of class WhatsApp groups containing multiple Year 6  pupils. 

The minimum age for using WhatsApp is 16. Please read the information on the link below before deciding whether you want your child to use this app. You might not be aware, for example, that your child’s live location can shared via the app.

If you do decide to allow them to use WhatsApp, this link also contains information on keeping them safe including disabling the option for your child to be added to groups without permission. 

WhatsApp groups with multiple people in are incredibly difficult to navigate and children often find themselves saying things that they wouldn't normally say, or being drawn into conversations that they are uncomfortable with. Children can also be seen to be complicit just because they are a member of a group chat.  Please speak to your child today and ask them to show you their phone and the groups they are in.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs. Cook

Hindleap Warren Residential Trip

Dear Parents and Carers,

The deadline for signing up for the Year 6 residential trip has long passed (Friday 30th June).  If you have not signed up, but wish your child to attend, you must pay the deposit of £80 as a matter of urgency.  Please pay via your child's Arbor account. 

The deadline for full payment has been extended to Wednesday 18th October. If you want your child to keep their place on the trip, full payment must be made by this date. 

Please contact Mrs. Vennard in the school office if you have any questions regarding payment. 

Sun Safety 

As the warm weather is still with us, we need to continue with sun safety. 

Please provide your child with a named sun hat and ensure that they have a named plastic water bottle (with sports cap opening). 

If your child requires sun cream, please ensure they apply it before school. If you wish them to reapply sun cream before breaktimes, lunchtimes or outdoor PE, please provide them with a named bottle. Staff are not allowed to apply sun cream to children, so please ensure that your child can apply it themselves.
