Dear Parents and Carers,
Celebrating a Wonderful Term
This term, we have so much to be proud of across our school community:
-
Welcoming New Staff
We are delighted to have recruited some fantastic new colleagues who have already begun making a positive impact.
-
Excellent Attendance
Thank you to our parents and carers for supporting strong attendance. Your efforts have helped keep our attendance above national averages.
-
Brilliant Reading Progress
Children who read regularly at school and at home are showing real improvements in prosody and automaticity. They are becoming truly wonderful, confident readers!
-
Success in Sport
A huge well done to the many pupils who have qualified for the swimming gala finals. We are cheering you on!
-
Supporting Outdoor Play
Thank you to families for donating items for our outdoor provision. Please keep sending in pallets, tyres, guttering, and pipes—our giant marble is becoming a firm favourite!
-
Family Engagement
It has been lovely welcoming so many of you into school for a range of learning experiences. We’d love to see even more families join us next term.
-
Leadership and Community
Our school leaders continue to drive improvements and represent the school proudly within the community.

World Book Day Creativity
The quality of this year’s Books in a Box creations was outstanding. Thank you for the imagination and effort that went into each one.
We wish all our families a restful and happy Easter break. We look forward to sharing even more celebrations with you in the summer term.
Message from Mrs Thoroughgood
We’ve received another kind donation from Tamworth Hygiene Bank.
Items will be available in the reception areas from Friday.
Please be mindful that these supplies are intended to support all of our families, so we kindly ask that you take only what you need.

Message about parking
Please could we kindly ask everyone to be mindful of where they park during drop‑off and pick‑up times. We have received reports from residents in Greatrex Close that cars are blocking cars or parking in private spaces.
To help us maintain positive relationships with our neighbours and keep everyone safe, please ensure you only park in appropriate, designated areas and avoid causing obstruction.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
