Headteacher's Update
On the final day of last term our infant classes all enjoyed exploring the school site and coming up with ideas and plans to make the site and especially the playground more environmentally friendly. They quickly identified issues such as a lack of shade, a lack of plants and limited areas to encourage wildlife. Children then worked collaboratively to come up with plans and ideas to improve the site for us and for birds and insect life. Their ideas were amazing and very creative!
Our School Councillors and Eco Team then had a very important meeting with Miss Knapp and I to discuss the most important ideas everyone had shared and start to plan how we can make small changes to our site. They have big plans and will be talking to the Friends of Woolton Hill PTA soon about how they might be able to support with some fundraising too. We look forward to seeing this project evolve and our infant site becoming more of a haven for wildlife and providing some well needed shady areas on the playground too.
Punctuality Matters
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all families that the school day begins promptly at 8.45am. A significant number of children across both schools arrived after this time each day, and we are asking for your support in ensuring that children arrive on time each day.
Arriving late can have a number of negative impacts. Children who miss the start of the day often miss important instructions, early learning activities, and key opportunities to settle into the classroom routine alongside their peers. This can affect their confidence and readiness to learn, as well as disrupt the flow of teaching for the rest of the class. In addition, repeated lateness can lead to gaps in learning over time, which can make it harder for children to keep up.
I understand that there may occasionally be unavoidable circumstances, but consistent punctuality makes a real difference to your child’s experience and progress in school. Your support in helping children arrive calmly and on time each morning is very much appreciated.
