📚✨ Reading Volunteers Needed! ✨📚
We all know that reading opens the door to the world, and we want to give our children a rich diet of books and stories. 💙
If you have a spare hour and would like to help us make a difference, we’d love to have you join as a reading volunteer!
👉 Please pop in and see Mrs. Camish if you’re interested or message on Dojo!
Together, we can help foster a lifelong love of reading! 🌟
👋 Meet the Teacher
Thanks to everyone who came along to our Meet the Teacher session this week! It was lovely to see so many of you. 💙
If you weren’t able to make it, don’t worry — your child’s teacher will be in touch to arrange another time. We’d love for everyone to have the chance to hear about the year ahead and ask any questions.
Remember, we’re always around on the playground before and after school if you’d like a quick chat. 😊

Big shout-out to our very own Mrs Pitts for absolutely crushing the Amphibian Swim this weekend! 💪🏊♂️🏃♂️
That’s a 1km swim around a lake + 100m run, repeated 5 times — pure grit and endurance. She not only finished strong but came in 2nd place overall! 🥈
She says she loves the challenge every time, but this year it took real determination to push through that final lap. Incredible effort and such an inspiring example of perseverance for all of us 👏🔥

Dear Parents/Carers,
We would like to take this opportunity to remind our school community about safer driving and parking as we have received a number of complaints.
We know that most people do want to do the right thing and drive safely and responsibly. We therefore request that you adhere to the following when parking, dropping off or collecting children from school:
• Keep the School ‘Keep Clear’ marking (zig-zags), yellow lines and the school entrance clear at all times
• Ensure pavements, driveways and pedestrian access points are not blocked
• Ensure emergency vehicles would be able to get past if needed
• Do not park opposite or within 10 metres of a junction
• Turn off your engine when parked – engines left idling contribute to air pollution
• Behave in a manner than is respectful towards others – including pedestrians and local residents
• Park further away from school if at all possible
Drivers committing offences place themselves at risk of being prosecuted/ issued with tickets by council wardens and or the police, we regularly request the CCTV vehicle from Nottinghamshire County Council to monitor parking around our school. Inconsiderate and dangerous parking outside schools puts lives at risk.
Please help us to keep our school community safe and make the school run less stressful and far safer for everyone.
Best wishes,
The School Office Team

SAVE THE DATE!
This year’s Coffee Morning will be a particularly special occasion, as it is being held in memory of our much-loved colleague and Teaching Assistant, Trish Butt. Trish dedicated so much of her time, care, and kindness to our school community, touching the lives of both children and staff in countless ways. During the morning, we will also be unveiling a new bench to be placed at the school – a lasting tribute where pupils and staff can sit, reflect, and always remember the positive impact she had on us all. ❤
Wishing all our families a peaceful and enjoyable summer. Thank you for a brilliant year and for all your support, it doesn't go unnoticed! Monday 1st September and Tuesday 2nd September are INSET days. We look forward to welcoming the children back on Wednesday 3rd September
Stay safe this summer and have lots of fun.
