Headteacher's Update
Dear Parents,
Last Friday, children from Years 4, 5 and 6 proudly represented our school at the Prince of Wales Large Schools Athletics Meet. It was a fantastic evening and, above all, I was so proud of the way our children supported and encouraged one another throughout the event.
I would be extremely grateful if you could spare a few moments to complete our short questionnaire. Your feedback is invaluable and helps us continue to strengthen and improve what we offer for our children and families.

Lunchtime Provision at Warden Hill
Our children are really enjoying the diverse range of zones and activities which are on offer at our school during lunchtime:
- our Construction Zone, where the Reception children have made a great start using the building blocks and creating structures;
- our Active Play Zone where children across the school have enjoyed developing their physical skills at skipping, throwing and catching;
- our Scrap Zone where the children’s imaginations have simply amazed us with what they create from the scrap equipment that we have;
- and our skilled sports coaches who have provided a range of fantastic sporting activities for children at lunchtime, helping to develop their physical skills and sporting knowledge, teamwork skills and resilience!
- In addition to this, now we have our newly appointed Reading Ambassadors, we will be looking to reopen our Reading Zone for children to use at lunchtimes as well!
We are really proud of the activities that we have on offer at Warden Hill to ensure our children have a fun and active lunchtime but we would like to continue to extend our provision. Therefore, we would like to reach out to families for donations. If you have any of the following items that you no longer need or want, we would be delighted to give them a new home at Warden Hill:
- welly boots (all children’s sizes)
- dolls, teddies and doll’s prams as well as pushchairs
- dressing up clothes and accessories / fancy dress
- large building blocks
- large plastic crates (that children could sit in)
- car tyres
- phones
- walkie talkies
- suitcases
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs Taylor and Miss Barrett
Author Visit
Abi Elphinstone will be visiting our school on Thursday 15th October.
This event is for Years 4–6.
We are incredibly excited to welcome Abi Elphinstone to our school, where she will share her new book, Goodnight Silver!
Abi’s new book, Goodnight Silver, is not released until 28th October, meaning our children will have the incredibly exciting opportunity to hear about it and purchase a copy before its official release.
Children will also have the opportunity to have the books signed by Abi.Â
Literature Festival
Our Literature Festival outings are coming up soon.
Please ensure your child has a water bottle and a coat on the day of their trip.
Year 3 and Year 5 will require packed lunch and an extra snack.
If you haven’t done so already, please make a payment for your child’s ticket via ParentPay.
