Wraparound Care

It has been recently publicised that all schools will be required to provide wraparound care from 8am – 6pm from next September. This is currently being proposed nationally and schools are being advised and supported with this change. Mrs Lyall attended training on this matter this week to find out if we needed to address this and extend our offer. Due to the timings of our current Wraparound offer being 7.45am – 5.45pm, we are not required to change our timings as we are providing the expected amount of care, as a result we won’t be making any changes to our Breakfast Club and After School Wraparound provision.

Christmas events

We had yet another magical Christmas time in school with visits from Santa and his main elf – both in person  and in a helicopter! Thank you to Hawkstone Follies and  RAF Shawbury for enabling these experiences. We enjoyed creating Christmas crafts and learning about the birth of baby Jesus. Classes R, 1&2 performed their Nativity beautifully and the whole school participated in the termly Church service. Our Christmas parties were a firm favourite with traditional games, quizzes, parachute games, disco and dancing activities and a whole lot of fun. We also enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch cooked onsite by our wonderful cooks. Thank you to everyone who made Christmas time for our children so special this year.

We have shown thoughtfulness and generosity to our local community through monetary donations to Shrewsbury Ark to support the homeless at Christmas and through our food collections for our local food bank in Market Drayton.
