As we reach the end of this term, it's time to reflect on all the successes and achievements of our school community.
I am thrilled each morning as I see our Reception children running and laughing through the playground to their classes! We continue to nurture a happy community.
Our children have visited the theatre, performed for their parents, taken part in religious workshops, sang at a Borough-wide Christmas concert, raised money for several charities, purchased Christmas trees for their local care home, met Santa in the Phoenix grotto and danced at our end of term disco! WOW!
These experiences have all contributed to the excellent progress we are seeing in the children's social, physical and literary development. We are incredibly proud.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and safe Christmas break. Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you enjoy quality time with family and friends. We look forward to seeing you all in 2023!
Mrs Pelazza
SAFEGUARDING
Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility, including during school holidays.
For general queries regarding a child's safety, please telephone 01753 477321 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. For emergencies outside these hours, please call the Emergency Duty Team on 01344 351999.
If you believe a child is at immediate risk of harm, please dial 999 straight away.
We have all been deeply moved by the devastating events in Solihull this week which resulted in the deaths of 4 children who fell into an icy lake. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those affected.
Please do talk to your children about these dangers and ice safety.

Please let's respect our community.
