Dear Parents and Carers
It’s been a busy week in school. The Reception classes held their first Inspire
Workshops, working together with parents on Reading. Thank you to everyone who
came along and, of course, to Miss Smithson and Miss Thorpe. Next week is the last
week of half term. Some parents will have received an invitation to our Special Merit
Assemblies on either Thursday or Friday. The Year 6s had a wonderful residential trip
to Howtown Lake – you can see how much they enjoyed it from the photographs!
Thank you to Miss Bates, Miss Green and Miss Smithson for giving up their time to
spend a week with the children in the Lake District. Mrs Whitehead

Cross-Country Update
Last Thursday children from Year 4 and 5 took part in the
second cross-country race of the season at Bishop Vesey
School. With the Year 6’s away on residential, there were
some new faces in the team competing in their first races.
The boy’s race went off first, and Zak Tisdale put in a great
performance again, coming in 1st place out of over 100
runners. That is now two individual victories in a row. He
was followed in by Dylan Geddes (5th) and supported well by
Lewis Gibbons, Joe Richards, Ramy Falah, Joe Lowe and Joel
Lumb. This resulted in a team finish of 7th place following on
from our 1st place in the opening race.
The girl’s race went off shortly after, and the team of Ellie
Hanlon, Ruby Jefferson, Rebecca Bye, Amelia Moors, Lily
Thacker and Emily Ralph all performed well and contributed
to an overall team position of 12th place out of 17 schools
participating. This matched their 12th place in the first race.
There is now a break in the races until the new year. We will
go into the second half of the season with a real chance of
some team and individual success. Well done to all involved
with races, and to those who come along to club to compete,
and to enjoy developing their health and fitness levels.
Mr Wigley
Lunchtime Supervisor vacancy
We currently have a vacancy for a Lunchtime
Supervisor. The role fits very well with those
who enjoy working with children and would like
to work for a few hours during the school day.
