Parents’ Evening

A reminder that our final autumn Parents’ Evening session is today from 2.50 - 4.30pm. We look forward to seeing all the families who have made appointments via Arbor.

Thank you to everyone who has been able to make time to meet their child’s teacher this week. We know how important these conversations are in supporting children’s learning.

Road Safety on Sheringham Avenue

Many of you will be aware that there are a lot of road works going on in the local area. This appears to have resulted in the Healthy Schools Streets status being temporarily paused in Sheringham Avenue. This means that cars are currently using Sheringham Avenue at the start and end of day - please make sure that children are being extra careful when crossing and using the pavements to walk. Please keep an eye on road signage for updates. 

SPS Family Zone 

A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who took part in our SPS Family Zone questionnaire. Your time, suggestions and honest feedback are greatly appreciated. Your input plays a vital role in helping us understand what is working well and where we can continue to grow as a collective community.

We will be using the information gathered to explore meaningful ways to strengthen our collaboration with families. One key idea that emerged from the feedback is the value of creating more opportunities for families to connect, access support, and engage with the school beyond the usual weekdays. We look forward to working together and keeping you updated as these plans develop.

Reception Local Walks

Over next week, Reception children will take a short walk around the local area. R3 will go on Monday 8th, R1 on Tuesday 9th and R2 on Wednesday 10th December. The children will be exploring features in our local area and practising how to walk in small groups ready for school visits later in the year. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and comfy shoes.

Little Ilford Theatre Experience for Year 6

Next Tuesday 9th December, Year 6 will be visiting Little Ilford School to watch their annual school production. This year, the secondary school has devised a performance inspired by the graphic novel ‘The Arrival’ by Shaun Tan. We will be walking to Little Ilford after lunch on Tuesday and will aim to be back at school around 3:15pm. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather, including a waterproof jacket and sensible shoes. Thank you!

Year 4 children are off to the Pantomime (oh yes they are!)

We’re very excited to announce that on Thursday 18th December, Year 4 children are heading off to Redbridge Drama Centre to see The Wizard of Oz! 

Please check Arbor for more details.

Year 5 Visit the Science Museum

As part of our Science unit on Space and Forces, the children enjoyed an exciting visit to the Science Museum. They explored the space section and learned about rockets, planets, and life beyond Earth. 

In the Wonderlab, pupils took part in hands-on investigations, exploring forces and other scientific concepts through interactive exhibits. The visit was a great opportunity to bring their learning to life, and the children returned to school full of enthusiasm!
