Our Mission Statement:
Eco-Team
To protect and preserve our natural environment, as well as to raise the awareness of how to protect and preserve for the rest of the school to follow suit.
School Council
Our School Council represents the views of all of our pupils.
Our School Council gives our children the opportunity to make their voices heard, and feel like a part of the whole school community.
We have regular meetings to think about how we can bring a positive change to the school. We discuss how current policies are doing, whether they are working, as well as by thinking of new, exciting ideas to bring to the school environment.
We promote an ethos of taking responsibility for our day-to-day schooling lives, however big or small.
The projects we are looking at this term:
- Macmillan Coffee Morning
- Friendship Week
- Children in Need
- Salvation Army Gifts
Our Citizenship Award is a project that all the children of the school can participate in, it is all about contributing to your own community (family), your local community (school) and the wider community (local area and nationally). The School Councillors will really take the lead with this in the coming year, supporting the rest of their class with what activities they need to complete, how many in total from each section, the time frame of their participation and leading an assembly around launching this project.
Thank you so much for your support with raising money for Macmillan, our grand total is £290.88! Well done everyone!

POSTCARDS FOR KINDNESS
Hello!
We are continuing with our efforts to support the community with our Postcards for Kindness, so please do read on if you would like to get involved.
We are implementing an initiative to show our appreciation and love for the wider community.
Postcards of Kindness is about writing postcards and connecting lives. Please find the attached link if you would like to know more: https://www.ageuk.org.uk/discover/2019/october/postcards-of-kindness/
The outline of the project is as follows:
Children write a postcard to a resident at a nursing home from up and down the country, so they feel connected to the outside community. I think now more than ever they would really appreciate that.
You do not need to worry about sending it off or finding the address. If you bring the postcards to either office in the Infant and Junior school, it will be passed on to me and I will send it off! You won't address the card to anyone specific either - so don't worry about that!
I will share with you a template for writing your Postcards of Kindness, should you wish to use it!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me through the school office.
Miss Trayte :)
Pupil Survey
Since the Autumn term, the school council have been working on a project surrounding the pupil voice survey that was carried out, thinking about all the children view the school, what they enjoy about it and how we can make improvements for an even better school.
We focused on some specific areas around behaviour, lessons, keeping the school eco friendly and extra activities. The councillors had the opportunity to lead this initiative, discussed and collected ideas from their classes in order to decide what to prioritise moving forward. After collating all the results, the school council followed through with these actions as shown below.
