"“I can do all things through him who strengthens me” - Philippians 4:13
Headteacher's Update
We would like to extend our huge thanks to all the parents who attended the recent parent consultations. Your engagement and feedback are invaluable to us, and we are thrilled to hear that many of you found the discussions beneficial.
We also appreciate those who took the time to complete our latest satisfaction survey. The responses were overwhelmingly positive, with some insightful suggestions on how we can enhance our Federation even further. We are especially proud to share that 100% of respondents indicated they would recommend our schools to others!
Thank you once again for your support and commitment to our community. Together, we can continue to create an exceptional learning environment for our children.
Pond Update
We are very excited to announce that our Pond Fundraising Project has been selected to participate in the 'Tescos Stronger' Starts grants programme. This is where shoppers select which charity they would like to support by posting their blue tokens in their choice of slot, before they leave the store.
Our Pond project will be featured at the Tesco Extra store at Pinchington Lane from Tuesday 28th April 2026 until the end of July 2026. It would be wonderful if our families and community could support this project by shopping at this sore and encouraging others to do so please. If successful we could raise tup to £1500 towards our new pond.
We would like to thank the Friends of the Woolton Hill Schools who have set up a crowdfunding page to raise funds for our School Fund - this has already raised an incredible £3428!

INSET Dates
A few parents have asked if we have set our INSET dates for the 2026/27 academic year. These dates are set to serve the requirements of the Federation Improvement Plan and to ensure our staff training is carried out when it can have the most impact. Our INSET dates will be published in June 2026, after the Improvement Plan has been written and after the dates have been approved by the Governing Body.
A reminder that our Next INSET day is Friday 27th March. Term will therefore finish at on Thursday 26th March and will resume at 8.45am on Monday 13th April. May we take this opportunity to wish all of our families a very Happy Easter.
Reminders
Children should not bring toys (including soft toys) to school. These can get lost/damaged and cause a distractions to learning. Any toys that are brought to school will be removed and parents will be invited to collect them from the office.
We would also repeat the reminder that children should not bring rucksacks to school. These large bags are not necessary and cannot be accommodated in our cloakrooms. Please can children bring the items they require in a book bag.
Many thanks for your cooperation with this.
