In our whole school assembly this week, we explored Refugee Week (15th-21st June) and Refugee Day (20th June). We looked at what the week was and why it was celebrated. We were also curious to find out about different children's stories about how they or members of their family had needed to leave their home country and find sanctuary elsewhere. We noted that various members of our school community have had this experience and we try to use the British Values and our school values to help us provide a welcoming environment to everyone who is new to our school community. 

In our Celebration Assembly today these children received certificates for being role models of our school values this week:

Amplify Parent and Carer Survey

Please find below a link to this year's parents and carers survey. You will be able to add your responses to the survey until Monday 29th June at 9.00am. 

The form asks you about your experience of your child's education. The responses are treated anonymously and confidentially to identify what we are doing well and what we can do better. If you have more than one child at school, you only need to complete the survey once. This survey is administered by our wider trust and is the same across all of our schools. It is used to inform decision making in our school and so the more responses we receive the more useful the survey is to us. 

The link for the survey is here: Parent and Carer Survey

Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer these questions.

New planter for Playground 1

Earlier this year, we won a grant from the Ovo Foundation Nature Prize. We have used the money to create a 4th 'SUDS' planter on Playground 1. SUDS stands for Sustainable Urban Drainage System and the planters are designed to slow rainfall and reduce flooding as well as enhancing spaces for people and wildlife. Mulberry Class had a great time putting in all the layers and adding the plants!
