  • Newsletter – February Week 3​​​​​​​

    Published 18/02/22

    Dear Parents / Carers,

    Careers Related Learning

    A few weeks ago I asked if you could help our children to understand different job roles and how what they learn in school helps them to achieve a job when they’re older.  This was also an area which you scored low on the parent survey so we are hoping lots of you can support with this.

    We are hoping that you can record yourself talking about your job, what you actually do, if you have a uniform and equipment and anything else which the children will find interesting.

    This can be for just your child’s class or we can share it with other classes too.

    Please can you send your recordings to laura.coleman@coopacademies.co.uk

    Thank you for your hopeful support with this.

    On Wednesday 27th April and Thursday 28th April we have staff training for all staff from 3:30pm.  Due to this, Small & Tall will be closed for the after school club session on both days.  We’re sorry for any inconvenience which this causes.

    There is an INSET day on Monday 6th June, so school will be closed.

    The last day of the summer term is Friday 15th July.

  • Dress to Express Day 2022​​​​​​​

    Published 11/02/22

    Today, we ended Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week with a ‘Dress to Express’ day. The children could come into school wearing what they really wanted, whether it was as a superhero, a princess, a footballer or just an outfit that makes them feel happy. The children all came into school with a huge smiles on their faces! They certainly had chosen well, expressing themselves in lots of different ways.

  • Mini Orchard Tree Planting​​​​​​​

    Published 08/02/22

    We have been really fortunate to secure a funded mini orchard from the local council. The trees arrived ready to be planted this week.

    Thank you to our regular gardeners who helped in their break time club to sketch, plan and mark out our planting area and then attended our mini orchard planting on Monday after school.

    The children have learnt a lot about bare root fruit trees and how to plant and care for them. More work will need be done this week in their break time club to provide the trees with a much needed mulch base and protection.

    We all think they will be amazing to watch and hopefully grow some delicious fruit! We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Shaw for her hard work in gardening club and for securing this great opportunity for our garden area in school. #DoWhatMattersMost #SucceedTogether
