Dear Parents / Carers,

Welcome back to our Summer term.  I hope you all had a lovely Easter break.

Thank you everyone who has returned their Dougie Mac sponsor forms.  If you’ve forgotten, please don’t worry, you can bring it in on Monday.

Safeguarding 

As part of our duty to safeguard children, we also have to ensure that any child displaying any extremist or radicalised behaviour is reported.  We will work together with the police and the parents to support the child.

If you have any concerns about a child’s behaviour please let either myself or Mrs Hartley know.  There is a form on our website called ‘report a concern’ (top right of website).  You can report any safeguarding concerns using this report form including if you have concerns about radicalised / extremist behaviour.

Dangerous parking on Abbots Way

Please can I remind you to park safely along Abbots Way.  There have been quite a few complaints this week regarding how dangerous some of you are parking and driving.  

We want all of our families to be safe walking to school and crossing the road. Thank you.

Strike Action

On Thursday 27th April there is a strike day planned for teachers of the NEU union.  This is a national strike regarding funding for schools, pay and conditions.  Friarswood will remain open to all pupils.

Eco-warriors

You may have seen on our social media that a group of our older children took part in an eco-warrior activity day on Tuesday.  The children went to Angel Square in Manchester to share with the other academies what we have been doing to make our school a ‘greener’ place. They got up and did an excellent powerpoint presentation that they had created so confidently! They have been very busy and have big plans to create a community herb garden for everyone to use, so watch this space!  Please take a look at the social media for photos of what these children got up to including making a wallet out of a juice carton!
