Dear Parents and Carers,
This week in assemblies, we have been focusing on two important themes: staying safe online and the importance of routines in school. The children have been encouraged to think carefully about how to use technology responsibly and how following routines helps everyone feel settled and ready to learn.
One of my favourite moments this week was seeing the children enjoying themselves at lunchtime with the different play resources. They were ready, respectful and safe, and a wonderful moment of spontaneity followed as they worked together to create their own small world using natural materials—showing creativity, teamwork, and imagination in action.
Looking ahead, next week we are excited to introduce Student Voice to all pupils in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. This will give children the opportunity to share how they are feeling about school, outside of school or at home and let us know if there are any areas where we can make improvements or where they may need any help and support.

Weekly Newsletter - Important Information
Parking on Amersham Road
As a school, we work hard to maintain positive relationships with our local residents. It is really important that, as a community, we respect their properties.
Please ensure that you do not block or park on driveways when dropping off or collecting children. This has been highlighted again by residents this week, and unfortunately, it means we are having to spend time addressing this issue when our focus should be on supporting the children’s learning.
Headlice
We have had an increase in cases of head lice across several year groups. Please be vigilant in checking your children for head lice, and guidance on treatment can be found here. We ask that long hair is tied back for school, to help prevent further cases.
Snacks and Packed Lunches – Nut Free School
All children are provided with a healthy snack at breaktime. Please remember that we are a nut free school. Some children and staff have severe nut allergies, and even trace contact can trigger a life-threatening reaction.
For this reason, no nut products are allowed in lunch boxes or as snacks/treats. Any items containing nuts will be removed, and children will be given an alternative. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe. If you have any questions, please speak to a member of staff.
