We hope all our families, pupils and staff are enjoying the last week of the holidays.

This is a good time to revisit daily routines and decide on healthy and positive habits for the year ahead. Children develop and we need to ensure we are using the latest research to ensure our family habits suit the developmental age and family requirements for each member. There are many sources of information and support. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/communicating-with-parents-about-school-attendance/the-back-to-school-reset-guide-accessible-version,

As we are in the fourth week of our summer holidays, and experiencing a further heat wave, it is a good time to read as a way to keep cool and to develop good routines during the last two weeks before school begins for the 2026 into 2027 academic year. We have risen to fifth place nationally in the challenge 2026 and have a whopping 9,659 points! Well done to Daisy L who is scoring amazing reading points.

I wonder if we can close the gap with the first place school who have 13, 259 points? How about reading about our solar system and the science behind radio waves? How about visiting a site (in person or via websites) that develops our understanding of space and physics and reading the displays?

We hope you are keeping safe and looking forward to the solar eclipse todayhttps://ras.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2018-06/SEP.BookletGeneral.v2.MEDres.pdf and the Perseid meteor shower https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/space-astronomy/perseid-meteor-shower-guide-uk-when-where-to-see. Follow the advice.

If you take pictures of you reading or the amazing events happening around us, we would love to see them. Send them to: [email protected].

Year 7 got a flavour of the Medieval period today thanks to re-enactor Patrick from the House of the Twin Tailed Lion. Patrick demonstrated the equipment that would have been used to fight in the Battle of Evesham in 1265, with the students getting the chance to feel the weight of it for themselves. The Battle of Evesham was a pivotal moment in the Second Barons' War, resulting in the death of rebel leader Simon de Montfort who played an influential role in the growth of democracy in England. A massive thank you to Patrick and all other re-enactors who bring history to life. Do go and see them at the Battle of Evesham Festival on the 1st and 2nd of August!

We are also expanding our lunchtime supervision team, with a great opportunity for someone after a fixed hour role.

We are looking for a self-motivated and enthusiastic teaching assistant with a flexible attitude to support the inclusion of students with a range of behavioural and learning needs.  Experience of working in literacy, numeracy and social intervention programmes would be advantageous.
