Rock Steady concert
On Monday our pupils who participate in Rock Steady music lessons will be leading their termly music concert. Parents of those pupils are welcome to attend.
Children who are performing are welcomed to come in Christmas themed / party / rock star non-uniform!
Band leader Dan will be leaving us this term, he has been promoted and will now line manage other band leaders, including our new band leader, Luke, so we will still see Dan from time to time. We send him our congratulations, wishing him all the best for the future. He has been inspirational for young people in our school and will be a big miss.
Bumped head wrist bands
Following recent First Aid training, we have implemented an additional recommendation to our procedures when a child has bumped their head.
Due to the need to observe children closely after a bump to the head, we have purchased bright yellow bumped head wrist bands to enable all staff to see at a glance that a child has bumped their head and therefore needs to be monitored. The wrist band will include the data and time of the injury.
We will continue to implement our existing procedures of phoning parents when a child bumps their head and writing a bumped head letter home as required.

Reminders that parents and carers are able to take photographs of their children and we will provide opportunities for photographs at the end, but ask that you respect the wishes of all families by only taking pictures or videos of your own children and keeping them for personal use. We have several children this year who cannot be photographed, their family members do not provide permission for photographs to be taken or shared on social media or websites.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Huge thank you to our kitchen staff who cooked an amazing Christmas lunch for children and staff this week.
