Swimming Lessons - Autumn Term

A letter has been sent home with information regarding the Year 3 swimming lessons, which will begin on Monday 14th September. All the information you need is included in the letter.

Please ensure that the consent section is completed and returned to school so that your child is able to take part in the sessions.

The benefits of this block of swimming lessons are enormous, helping to build children’s confidence, develop their swimming skills, and most importantly, promote safety in and around water.

Many thanks, as always, for your continued support.

Reception to Year 6 – Christmas Pantomime Visit

Dear Parents/Carers,

As part of our enrichment opportunities this year, we are delighted to announce that on Thursday 3rd December, pupils from Reception to Year 6 will be attending Blackwood Miners’ Institute to watch the pantomime Aladdin.

We are really looking forward to giving our children the opportunity to enjoy what promises to be an exciting and memorable festive experience.

The cost of the pantomime is £9.50 per child. Payment and parental consent can both be completed via ParentPay, and these are now available to access from today.

As we need to confirm final pupil numbers with Blackwood Miners’ Institute in advance, the deadline for both payment and consent is Monday 2nd November.

Thank you for your continued support. We are sure the children will have a fantastic time and enjoy getting into the festive spirit!

Cross Country Trials

What an overwhelming response to our cross-country running trials today!

We are incredibly proud of every child who took part. Cross-country and long-distance running is challenging, and it was fantastic to see so many children pushing themselves, showing determination and giving their very best. A huge well done and thank you to everyone who participated — you should all be extremely proud of yourselves!

The number of children taking part has certainly shown us that there is a real enthusiasm for cross-country and athletics. It is something we would love to explore further in the future, with more opportunities for all children who wish to get involved.

We were particularly impressed by the supportive and positive attitudes shown by the children, from Year 1 all the way through to Year 6. It was wonderful to see everyone encouraging one another and celebrating each other's achievements. Well done, everyone!

A special congratulations to the children who finished first in their year group and will have the opportunity to represent the school at the ‘Race Against Hate’ event. Your teachers will be sending a message via the school app with all of the information you need. This message will also include a consent form for you to authorise your child’s participation in the event.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Most importantly, a huge well done and thank you to every child who took part today. You have truly done yourselves proud! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👏
