Headteachers Weekly Memo – 7^th November 2025

 

Dear Parent/Carer

 

Behaviour

 

This half term, we will be delving into our core values in more detail and rewarding classes rather than individuals. This week we have focused on ‘Kindness’ in Miss Stuart’s assembly.

 

 

Secret Students

A student is chosen anonymously and randomly at the start of each school day.  The class teacher will then monitor the positive behaviour of the secret student throughout the day and that student is named if they have demonstrated our school values throughout the day.

   The secret students who were celebrated in our celebration assembly this week were:

 

Year 1/2 – Charlie, Maggie, Porsia, Riley

Year 3/4 – Alannah

Year 5/6 - Oakley

 

Well done to you all for demonstrating good, positive behaviours.

Attendance Matters

As you all know students strive when they are in school. Reception were this weeks’ best attenders - Well done!

 

 

 

 

 

Anti Bullying Week

 

There will be an assembly that follows on from the ‘Kindness’ assembly last week with a focus on ‘Paying it forward’. This is where we pay forward acts of kindness to promote friendship and positive sense of community. Children will engage in this year’s theme, ‘The Power of Good’, during PSHE lessons

 

Children in need 2025

We are hosting a bake sale on Friday 14^th November to raise money for Children in Need.

Staff are challenging each other to sell as many of their cakes as they can in line with the theme of this year's event. The cakes will be sold at the gates or in the main hall in the event of poor weather.

 

 

Head Lice

While head lice are nothing more than a nuisance, it is important that children are checked on a weekly basis so that any head lice can be dealt with quickly and before they are allowed to spread too far. Follow the simple CHECK, TREAT, COMPLETE routine below to ensure you are doing your bit to keep head lice outbreaks to a minimum. If head lice are proving tricky to get rid of, please contact your pharmacist.

 

 

 

Friends of Sacred Heart

We’re still looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our new Friends of Sacred Heart group. Please contact the school office if you are interested and help us make a difference with fundraising, school events and more!

Notices

 

• Please can you be reminded that children bringing in scooters and bicycles should walk them when they pass the main school gates for safety reasons.
• Please can you ensure that your child/ren come to school in full school uniform, if you need help with this, we have been donated lots of uniform or can assist in getting funds to help support you with this.
• We politely request that parents refrain from using the staff parking area as this is not marshalled and could lead to accidents
