Head's Update
Dear Parents and Carers,
I can’t quite believe the end of term is here! It has been a brilliant final week (apart from Wednesday’s unexpected closure). Thank you all for your understanding and flexibility on the day.
Wellbeing Chat: Neurodiversity
In this short well being video, we explore how parents can confidently and positively support a neurodivergent child at home. We’ll focus on celebrating strengths, building structure that helps children thrive and approaching everyday challenges with patience and understanding. Together, we’ll look at simple strategies to promote emotional regulation, reduce stress and create routines that make life feel more predictable and calm.

Y1 Y2 Lunchtime Forest School
We would like to invite children in Y1 and Y2 to use the Forest School Zone during lunchtimes next term.
As Forest School is a muddy environment, your child must have named wellies to wear during the session and we recommend they bring in old leggings, old tracksuit bottoms or waterproof trousers to put on over their uniform for their session to help protect their clothes. They will also need a coat.
Forest School lunchtime sessions will start week commencing Monday 27th April.
The lunchtime Forest School sessions are optional but if your child would like to take part, please see the information below which details which day each week their session will be:
Mondays – 1S
Tuesdays – 2T
Wednesdays – 1B
Thursdays – 2S

Private Parking
We have been asked by the local businesses and residents to draw your attention to the signage and remind you that the carpark at the back of the shops is private and not to be used by parents when dropping off / collecting.
School Streets Scheme
It has come to our attention recently, that not everyone is aware of School Streets Scheme that operates on Durham Close. Apart from the road signs installed, the below is included in the Parent Information Booklet shared with all new parents:
School Streets has been in place along Durham Close and surrounding roads since November 2020. Durham Close has been made a pedestrian and cycle-friendly environment, prohibiting motor vehicles during morning drop off and afternoon collection times: 8:15am – 9:00am and 2:45pm – 3:30pm Monday to Friday.
We ask parents to park on nearby roads but be considerate to our neighbours, not to park on driveways or block access.
Permits are issued for staff and blue badge-holders. Permits can also be issued to parents in exceptional circumstances. This allows access to the school carpark.
Please DO NOT PARK ON DURHAM CLOSE during School Streets times.
We regularly receive complaints from local residents regarding blocked driveways. We encourage our neighbours to report these instances to the Gloucestershire County Council Parking Team by emailing parking@gloucestershire.gov.uk or calling 01452 425610.
