ActivSports changes

With mixed emotions we share that Miss Rowson is leaving us next week as our ActivSports Sports Coach. We will be very sad to see her go, she has been a part of our school community for many years and is a superb coach. But, we are pleased for her as she is taking on a new role as a full time Sports Coach in a large school in Telford. A job which I’m sure she will excel at. We will miss her greatly, I’m sure you will all join with us in wishing her the very best of luck for the future.

The coach replacing Miss Rowson is Mr Woods. He has been to work alongside Miss Rowson last week and has met the classes. He will lead one of our weekly PE sessions for classes 1, 2, 5, & 6 in September. Mr Roberts with lead a weekly session for classes 3 & 4. Class teachers will lead the other weekly sessions as they do currently.

Uniform

A reminder that full uniform is expected at all times. Even though we are approaching the end of term, that shouldn’t mean that we let pride in our uniform standards slip.  We wear our Hodnet blue, to show that we are part of our school team, we are smart, proud and ready to learn. We are also adhering to our school rules and values by wearing the correct uniform, as it is a school policy to wear it.

Uniform is a fundamental part of most schools and other organisations procedures, ensuring communities are unified. Our children will find high expectations of uniform standards right through their educational career, so we aim high from the beginning.

We also recognise that our children require parental support to ensure they are adhering to our uniform policy. Thank you to parents and families for your cooperation with this. 

Uniform Policy 2024 26

We have lots of uniform free to families due to the high number of good quality donations that we receive. Please pop into the lobby to take a look of you would like some.

Mrs Lyall, Headteacher.
