Welcome Back 🌼
Welcome back! It has been wonderful to see children back in school this week - it's been a fantastic first week of the spring term! We've had trips out, RESPECT badge assemblies and children working hard in lessons.
As the colder months are here, please make sure children come to school in a coat to wear at play and lunchtimes.
A few reminders for the term ahead:
- Children can come to school in their PE kit on PE days.
- Children should wear correct school uniform every day - if you need help with this, please get in touch.
- Book bags should be brought in every day, with reading records completed.
- If your child would like to attend an after-school club, please speak with their teacher or pop into the office to speak with Mrs Gray.

Spring Term Attendance Prizes ✨
Attendance matters: all day, every day.
Last week, we introduced our Spring A attendance incentive! To be in with a chance of winning the top prize, your child must be in school and on time every day this half-term.
Read the letter to find out more here.
We've been made aware that, due to the ongoing conflict in Israel, some families are boycotting large corporations such as McDonald's and Coca-Cola. We want to support all our families who are taking part in this boycott and will change the fast-food restaurant for the attendance prize. We thank you for letting us know and for your understanding.
Preparing for the colder weather 🥶
Over the next week, the temperature in Leeds is set to drop and stay very cold. Please make sure children wear coats, hats, gloves and scarves when outside, especially when coming to and from school.
If you need help with clothing and keeping warm, please speak with our pastoral team, who will be happy to help.

Pupil Parliament visit Co-op Academy Penny Oaks 👍
Last week, some of our Pupil Parliament members joined pupils from Co-op Academy Penny Oaks and Co-op Academy Beckfield for a session with Asylum Matters about their #LiftTheBan campaign! We can't wait to let you know more about our social action project and spreading the word about this fantastic cause.
Jamie's Farm Skipton 🐄
This week, 9 of our Year 5 and 6 children had their first visit to Jamie's Farm, Skipton. These children will be working with the farmer and his team every Wednesday this half-term to run the farm!
RESPECT Badge Assemblies 🏆
Last week, we had our next round of RESPECT badge assemblies! 
Children earn their badges for meeting criteria, following our school rules and showing our RESPECT values. 
Well done to all our badge winners, we are very proud!
