Black History Month is an international event that celebrates the lives, achievements and contributions of black and minority ethnic people and communities. It is an event that has been celebrated in the UK for over twenty-two years. Sonia Walker, our EMA (Ethnic Minority Achievement) coordinator is organising an assembly Friday 23rd October. She writes:

“A Black History Month Assembly based upon the theme of ‘role models and aspirations’ will be held in the school hall on Friday 23rd October at 9.15 am. I am looking for inspirational people  to speak during this assembly. If you would like to speak at the assembly, or to a class, please contact me through the school office by Thursday, 15th October.”

Maths Focus Week

This week we having a ‘Maths Focus Week.’ You may remember that we often hold special weeks during the year - Art Week and Story Telling Week last year, for example. We’ve got a few special weeks coming up in the Spring and Summer Terms, but we’ve also squeezed a maths week into this term. We’re focusing on problem solving and investigations during the week and you can support this with the tasks and extra bits of work that will be going home.

Year 6 Secondary Transfer

The Local Authority (Westminster) have asked me to remind parents of Year 6 pupils about the proof of address that they require with the green secondary transfer form.

“All applicants are now required to provide proof of their child's home address with their applications.  The following evidence is acceptable: Council Tax Bill, Council/Housing Association Tenancy Agreement, Child Benefit Book/Notification.  The evidence provided must be dated no more than six months prior to the application.  The Admissions Team may check Electoral Roll and/or Council Tax records to verify the address given and may also request further proof of address if necessary.”

Singing Lessons

Just a reminder that we are now able to offer singing lessons: £7.50 for 15 minutes. Ask at the school office for an application form if you’re interested.
