Week Beginning 1st June
Thu 21 May 2015Just a reminder that the school is closed tomorrow, Friday 22nd May, as it is an INSET day for staff training. Therefore we will look forward to seeing all children and their families back at school again after the Summer half term on Monday 1st June. We do hope that everyone has a wonderful half term break.
We are sadly saying goodbye to Miss Heath who has been working in Safari and Rainforest for two days every week. We thank her for all of her hard work and wish her the best of luck.
We are delighted to welcome back Mrs Evison following her maternity leave who will be working in our Reception department for the rest of this term.
We would like to extend our congratulations to one of our Year 6 pupils, Omari Giraud-Hutchinson who has been offered a contract with Arsenal Football Club for next season. This is a remarkable achievement as it followed an extensive trial period and games programme and we are very proud of him.
Please find attached your weekly bulletin for the first week back after half term….
Week Beginning 1st June
Welcome back to school, I can’t believe this is our last half term of the school year!
We wish all of our Year 6 children all the best as they head off to the Isle of Wight this week on their residential school visit. We do hope that the weather remains dry and warm and that they all have a fabulous week. Thank you to Mrs Bolton, Miss Cumming, Mrs Flynn, Mrs Larkham, Mrs Lee, Mrs Mc Donald, Mr Raffield and Mrs Watson for accompanying them.
On Thursday 4th June our Year 2 children are going on a school visit to Drusilla’s. Please may we remind you that if your child is attending this trip they need to be in school promptly at 8.15am on that morning, so that they are able to get the coach on time as it is leaving earlier than usual. The children will need a waterproof coat and a packed lunch in a small rucksack/ bag that they can carry themselves. Don’t forget to apply sun lotion for your child before they leave if it is hot weather.
On Friday 5th June Class 6 will be leading our whole school assembly. If you have a child in Miss Ward’s class please do join us for this event in the school hall at 10.15am.
On Friday afternoon some of our children are attending a design and technology workshop at Trinity School.
Just a reminder, that our PTA Summer Ball takes place on Saturday 6th June.

Week beginning 18th May 2015
Fri 15 May 2015Week beginning 18th May 2015
First I’d to say a huge congratulations to Year 6 for the way that they conducted themselves this week during their SATS week. We are so proud of how you tackled a difficult week of tests and how positive you all remained throughout. Well done! We’re not quite finished yet with a big focus still on Writing as we prepare for the collation of these results on the 10th June so keep up the fantastic attitude that you are demonstrating!
Well done also to Class 2 who led our class assembly this morning, telling us the humorous story of Cinderboy. You were fab!
Coming up next week …
On Monday morning Coulsdon Library will be visiting Key Stage One in their classes to read stories relating to their topics to them.
On Thursday we have a special menu for lunch, which you should have received notification about over the last week. The school gets part of its funding based on the number of children that take up school dinners, particularly within Reception and Key Stage 1. We would urge you to encourage your child to have a school dinner on this day so that we can ensure we get the maximum funding that we are entitled to. This helps to make sure we are well resourced. Please see below for the details.

Have a great weekend.
