This year we will be holding our Year 6 Leavers’ Service on Thursday 17th July at 2.00pm. This will be followed by the Leavers’ Party after school in the school grounds. More information will follow, but please save the date.

Thank you.

Just a quick reminder that swimming lessons start tomorrow (Thursday) for Kestrels class and any children who have been invited for booster lessons (you will have received a letter). Please make sure your child brings in their swimming costume and towel in a bag. Thank you.

A few reminders and extra information before next week’s trip:

• Please make sure your child is able to carry all their luggage. There will be a short uphill walk in Arthog to reach the centre.
• Arthog have some spare wellies, but possibly not enough for everyone. If you have old wellies, please do pack them but do not buy any new ones especially for the trip as there will be some there.
• Please no technology – no cameras, phones, music players etc.
• Remember bed linen (sheet, duvet cover, pillow case) and towel.
• Please name everything.
• Please only bring one reading book and one teddy.
• Avoid bringing any brand new or special clothing.
• Please do not bring jewellery.
• Arthog have an excellent drying room so the children will not need clean clothes every day – they will be encouraged to re-wear clothes once dry.
• Children will need to be dropped off in the Shrewsbury Station car park on Monday by 9am. Staff will take the children to the platform once everyone has arrived. We would kindly ask that parents say goodbye in the car park to make it easier for the staff to ensure all children are on the train.

Please let us know if you have any more questions.

As national Secondary School offer day is nearly upon us (3 March), the council would like you to check you can access your account on the Parent Portal.  If, for whatever reason, you cannot access your account or are locked out, please email school-admissions@shropshire.gov.uk or phone 0345 678 9008 as soon as possible.  A colleague in the Admissions Team will look into this and re-set/unlock your account accordingly. Phoning the team on offer day will involve a very long wait so it is best to check you have access in advance.

Thank you.

As we approach Arthog week, could we please ask that consent forms are completed and returned to school, payments are up to date and kit lists checked. If you have any questions about any aspect of the trip, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
Thank you.

Good evening,

We are aware that some children in years five and six are regularly playing Fortnite with their friends online. Unfortunately, a number of students are struggling to differentiate between the online game and playing together on the playground. We have had an increased amount of inappropriate comments being made, which are not age appropriate and are directly linked to the game.

Please could you take time as a family and reflect upon the use of online gaming. There are security settings that can be placed upon Fortnite e.g. you can play with friends without having the chat enabled and you can easily set time restrictions on this game.

Here is a link to further information on Fortnite: What do I need to know about Fortnite? A guide for parents and carers – UK Safer Internet Centre

Thank you.

Today, letters have been sent home with Year 6 pupils regarding Leavers’ Hoodies. Please click on this link to order your hoodie and then make payment via ParentPay.
