Church service next week
A reminder that we will be in church next Thursday for our summer service starting at 2pm. All welcome.
We will celebrate success together with class certificates, whole school awards, singing and class performances.
We are making a change to the seating arrangements for Thursday – with class R and class 1 swapping sides. Class R will now be on the right (piano side) and class 1 will be on the left (pulpit side).
Classes 3 and 4 will exit via the side door, as we tried last time – this made the collection at the end of the service much easier and quicker for all.
Please inform school via admin@hod.318education.co.uk if your child is walking back to school after the service to attend clubs or if they are due to go on the school bus which will collect form church if required.
Game donations
Wraparound would welcome donations of games which are still in good condition and have plenty of play life left in them! Games such as Uno, connect 4 etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Work experience pupils
A big thank you to our work experience pupils who have been excellent in school this week. Each of them attended Hodnet school for their primary education and it was delightful to have them back and see how they are getting on at secondary and support them with experiencing the world of work. They’ve worked very hard and should be very proud of themselves.
Guinea pigs
Our guinea pigs are enjoying their time outside int heir hutch and we are teaching our children to care for them and be kind, gentle and respectful. We’ve asked them today to share this message with younger siblings as some younger children are opening the hutch and poking the guinea pigs at pick up time. Whilst we want children to be encouraged to look at them and also eventually care for them, please can parents ensure that younger children are safe by the hutch. Thank you.
Freezy Friday
Thank you to everyone who has supported our PTA in their Freezy Friday mission to raise money for school. I know many of you voiced concerns regarding the losses due to the freezer being accidentally unplugged!
Great news the company have apologised and today provided a cash donation to the PTA. They are a great team of engineers who we have regularly on site, I’m pleased that they have acknowledged this and we are grateful for their donation.
