In July 2015 and September 2015, over 20 parents, pupils,  governors, architects and designers met to discuss the ’bigger picture’ of the whole joint school environment and the buildings and the grounds for each school. You can read the reports on the Latest News Documents page. A huge thank you to everyone that took part, especially our pupils who presented so well in front of the adults.

Welcome back! We trust you have had a good half term break. As mentioned in our newsletter, we are having our British Values launch week this week.

Monday – Mutual Respect; Tuesday – Tolerance of different beliefs; Wednesday– Individual Liberty; Thursday – Democracy; Friday – Rule of Law

Find out more about how we promote British Values here.

We wish our Year 6 pupils the very best as they conquer their fears and build their confidence on their residential this week!

Our new CPSO, Raymond Fraser, is speaking to our pupils on Thursday about keeping safe with fireworks, and what the law says about them.

We also have an open evening on Thursday evening for New Year 2 parents at 7pm. The same presentation will be run on Friday morning at 9:05am.

Reminders of upcoming events:

• Parents are warmly invited to join us at our Remembrance assembly on Wednesday 11th November at 1:10pm for 20
  minutes.
• Diploma Day – Monday 9th November
• The school photographer will be in school on Wednesday 18th November.

Resilience is the theme our week. It's one of our hardest and most important learning behaviours.

In assembly tomorrow, we'll be learning about Young Carers, who are amazing children in our own school who show resilience at home by looking after a parent or sibling who may have a variety of needs. Find out more about the Basingstoke Young Carers group.

Year 5 Bike-ability is this week. Please do ensure your child brings a helmet, walks their bike on school grounds, and locks their bike up securely if leaving it at school overnight.

It's also Walk to School week – this includes cycling! We want to encourage our children to be healthy and active. There are some fantastic badges to win!

Finally, our 2 Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) take part in training on Friday. This is all part of our school effort to further improve road safety and knowledge for pupils and parents.

Have a great week!

Spotlight UK are a registered charity caring for families supported by social care. They provide services in the local community and activities which are fun and affordable for all ages and backgrounds. 

Our theme this week is curiosity! We’ll be thinking about how curiosity leads to questions, and how those questions attempt to get answered through learning and investigation.
