Weekly Newsletter - Important Information
Friday 21st March 2025
Dear parents and Carers,
This week, we received some wonderful feedback from the team at The Windmill, which was visited by our Year 4 classes. They praised our children for being engaged, respectful, and well-mannered throughout the visit—well done, Year 4!
Our Year 5 and 6 Tag Rugby teams also had a fantastic week, competing in a tournament and emerging victorious! They will now move on to the final competition next week—good luck to all involved!
Additionally, we were pleased to meet with Reverend Richard Power from St. Paul’s Church on Petersfield Avenue. Reverend Richard will be visiting school more regularly and delivering assemblies based on Bible stories, linking them to our Mead Creed. We look forward to welcoming him into our school community.
A huge well done to our 5 Science Fair winners. All children who entered did a fantastic job and we cannot wait for more events like this in the future.
Waste Management Legislation – Important Changes
New waste management legislation comes into force on 31st March, requiring us to make changes to our current provision, including the addition of extra bins. To help children understand the new system, we will be holding a special assembly on Monday to explain the changes. One key change affects packed lunches—children who bring a packed lunch will now bring home their leftover food and wrappers. This will help you see what they have eaten while also supporting our efforts to streamline recycling in school, this will take effect from Monday 24th March.
Scooter & Bike Reminder
We have had a number of reports from children that their scooters have gone missing at the end of the school day. Please remember that scooters and bikes are left on school grounds at your own risk.
There have been instances where parents have accidentally taken a similar-looking scooter home, only to return it later. If your child’s scooter or bike is missing, please check if another has been left behind and let the office know. To help prevent mix-ups, we strongly encourage labeling scooters and bikes with your child’s name.
