Cuppa and Connect


Book now

Dear Parents,

I am delighted to announce that our next Cuppa and Connect session will be taken by Sam Stocken, an Educational Consultant who specialises in behaviour as communication.
Sam is leading a bespoke session on supporting your child outside of school. Please see a short introductory video from Sam and, if you think this is something you would value, then please book your place on Ticktsource. I will be there to introduce Sam and then leave to allow you all to speak freely and get as much from Sam’s expertise as possible.

The support group runs over 2 separate dates (7 and 21 March), so please check them before you commit to the booking. School is funding both of these sessions and therefore places are limited to 25. If this is something more parents would like, I will look to organise an evening event in the near future.

Children’s Mental Health Week

Children’s Mental Health Week is a mental health awareness week that launched by children’s mental health charity, Place2Be. The week exists to empower, equip and give a voice to all children and young people in the UK.

Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 will take place from 3-9 February 2025. The week launched a decade ago in 2015 and we celebrate it every February, with this year marking the 11th Children’s Mental Health Week.

This year, Children’s Mental Health Week is focussing on Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.

We want Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 to encourage children, young people and adults to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them. This will help them grow and develop resilience to cope with what life throws at them.

PTA Danceathon

After the success and feedback from last year’s Danceathon, we will be holding another on Friday 14th February during school hours.  This is a fun way for the children to be involved in raising funds for their school.  We will ask them to Dance for up to 30 minutes, at the end of which they will be awarded with a sticker to show that they have taken part and completed the challenge. To support this, please donate via our Just Giving page which can then be easily shared among family and friends to raise sponsorship money for your child/ren.  The link will be live and open for your donations until Friday 7th March.

Year 3 Trip: Bristol Museum and Art Gallery

Y3 Bristol Museum Trip 13 March 2025

We have booked a trip to Bristol Museum, to enhance the children’s learning about our science unit, ‘Rocks and Soils’.

About the trip
The children will become young geologists to investigate rocks and fossils. They will take part in geology activities to discover more about the rock cycle, how volcanoes are formed and plate tectonics. In addition to this, we will be visiting the Egyptian Exhibit which will consolidate our learning about the Ancient Egyptians.

Required on the day:

  • A packed lunch (no cans, glass, or fizzy drinks please)
  • A healthy snack
  • Plenty of water

We are asking parents to make a voluntary contribution of £12 towards the cost of the visit. It would be impossible to fund the trip out of school money, therefore if insufficient voluntary contributions are raised, it may have to be cancelled. All payments can be made through the ParentPay system. Please make sure that you provide your consent by ticking the appropriate box. Parental consent is necessary for your child to attend this trip and should be made by Friday 28th February.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs Gaisford and Mrs Catchpole
