Congratulations to all our chosen Book Worms, your reading at home and school was excellent this week.

Remember to keep up those good reading habits.

A reminder that our Nursery opens in September 2026. Please spread the word!

We can have up to 20 pupils per day and take children from age 2 to age 4. Details can be found on our website or by contacting school. We really want our nursery to be a thriving success, we acknowledge that this may take time to establish, so we would appreciate further community support to spread the word – our great school is expanding, please share!

A polite reminder that we expect adults to role model respectful behaviours and school values when around school, this is essential at drop off and pick up times. We acknowledge that pick up and drop off times can generate anxiety, particularly if people are running late or other reasons which can cause frustration for drivers/pedestrians. However, shouting, foul language or other verbal or physical aggression will not be tolerated and should not be witnessed by our children or wider school community. It was really disappointing to hear of verbal aggression this week by drivers outside our school and we offer our apologies to any families who had to unfortunately witness this disrespectful behaviour.

We ask again that parents/carers and family members park respectfully and legally when accessing our school. Please do not park in the turning circle, across driveways, on the zig zags, or blocking entrances to designated parking areas. The rules apply to all road uses and should therefore be applied by all.

We encourage you to report those who fail to adhere to the highway code to the community policing team.

I previously owned a children’s clothing brand called Marmalade & Mash, which has now ceased trading, and I am holding a one-day clearance sale on Wednesday 4th June from 12pm–7pm at my home near Hodnet (postcode SY4 4LY – full address provided on confirmation).

There is a large amount of beautiful, high-quality children’s clothing available at heavily reduced prices, covering ages 2–12 years, including everyday wear, occasion outfits and gifts. Parents will also be welcomed with a glass of fizz on arrival to make it a lovely shopping experience.

To make this beneficial for the school community too, I would be very happy to donate 20% of sales made by Hodnet School families directly to the PTA. Parents would simply mention they are from Hodnet School when attending.

I feel it could be a really lovely opportunity for parents to purchase quality children’s clothing at very affordable prices while also raising funds for the school at the same time.

The address for the clothes sale is :

Upper Harcourt

Stanton Upon Hine Heath

Shrewsbury

SY4 4LY

What three words is: flagpole. worry. pinch

Thank you so much.

Warm regards,
