Headteacher's Update
We have been reviewing our procedures at the start and end of the day to ensure the school site remains secure. As you're probably now aware, the gate entrance from the recreation field now opens at 3.10pm and the playground gate opens at 3.15pm.
Parents should not enter the school building in the morning. This is not a good time to speak to teachers as they are greeting the class and preparing to teach. Important messages can be passed via the school office or via Miss Knapp and myself who are usually stood on the door in the morning. Many thanks for your support in these important matters.
Parish Eco Event
On Saturday 17th May children from our Federation joined Miss Knapp running a stand at the Parish Eco Event. The event was well attended and our Schools of Woolton Hill stand was enjoyed by visitors who wanted to learn more about what we do to promote outdoor learning, respect for nature and increasing biodiversity on our school sites. We had so much to share and the Eco Team representatives did an amazing job talking to people and explaining what we do in our Outdoor Learning lessons as well as in Eco Club.
We did some valuable 'networking' too and have made links with Hampshire Wildlife, the Countryside Council and the church Eco group. It was great to see some families come and visit too. The Eco Team were able to share their designs for a wildlife pond and also give out the seed bombs they had made in Eco Club, they hope other families can start growing wildflower too to encourage pollinators into their gardens.
School Uniform
As we move closer to the end of the school year, I'm sure some parents will already be looking ahead to purchase items for the new school year. Most items can be bought from a supermarket and items with logos can be ordered directly from our supplier Price & Buckland. Click below to access further information on this.

Year 2 Camp
We are planning on running an overnight camp for pupils in Year 2, on the junior school field on the evening of Friday 4th July. In order to finalise plans and costs we are asking parents to indicate whether or not their child will attend. We are still awaiting a response from a few families.
Please click here and complete the Google form, even if you do not plan on your child attending. Thank you.
Hedgehogs Sunflower Project
The parents of Hedgehogs’ class were invited to celebrate their children’s graduation from ‘Sunflower Detectives’ to ‘Sunflower Experts’ at the end of last term. The children were keen to share all their learning on the wonderful world of sunflowers, producing outstanding work.
Our Links to Uganda
We are delighted to announce that 'The Schools of Woolton Hill' are rekindling our special connection with 'The Bulera School' in Uganda. This meaningful partnership offers our children a unique opportunity to broaden their global awareness and engage with important themes of education and children's rights.
To begin this renewed link, children in Key Stage 1 and lower Key Stage 2 will explore Uganda as part of their Geography lessons, learning about the region, its people, and culture. This learning experience will be enriched by a visit from Rev Canon Dodi Marden, who will be visiting our school this summer to share insights and stories from Bulera School.
In addition, we will use this topic to introduce our children to the UNICEF Rights of the Child, helping them understand the importance of education, equality, and well-being for children across the world.
We look forward to fostering a meaningful connection that will inspire our pupils and strengthen our commitment to global citizenship. More details will follow in the coming months as we embark on this exciting journey.
