The Buzz

Dear Parents/Carers

I hope that everyone enjoyed the lovely, long weekend and celebrated the Coronation in some way. We are thrilled to have received our report from Ofsted and I really hope parents take the time to read this through. I have however taken a few highlights which particularly stood out to me:

'This is a caring and friendly school....pupils are happy and safe.....pupils love learning'

'Their behaviour is excellent...pupils love learning and value their lessons'

'Leaders have pinpointed the specific knowledge that pupils need to learn'

'The teaching of reading is excellent'

'Staff are overwhelmingly happy and proud to work here'

I am sure you will all agree that this is a fantastic report and we are very proud of the pupils and staff who have worked so hard to achieve this excellent outcome.

Exciting news! Over the summer holidays we will be having a large climbing apparatus installed on the front playground. I am sure this will be well used and enjoyed by all the children across the school. The school council has given feedback on the design process and this will be entirely funded by you! The FOHJS will be funding this which is an amazing achievement-than you so much.

I hope everyone has a restful weekend.

Mr Jon James

If your child does bring a mobile phone into school, please can you ensure that the below form is duly completed

Please can you ensure that if you need to collect your child early from an after school club that you have contacted the club in advance to inform them and if necessary obtained a number to call the provider on arrival at the school.

Unfortunately the office are unable to collect children from their clubs so alternative arrangements will need to be made with them direct to bring your child to you.

Following on from our successful ADHD coffee morning and workshop last month, please remember to visit the website for support if necessary. They have seminars that you can access for a small fee, including an upcoming event on transitioning to secondary school.

Congratulations to Austin and Arthur in year 3 who both play for Hampton and Richmond FC Under 8’s Football Team. On Sunday, they entered their first tournament and not only did they manage to win the mini league they were in - they never lost a game! Well done boys!

We are looking for musicians (excluding piano) who are approximately Grade 1 and above to join our orchestra. Rehearsals take place on a Wednesday after school from 3.15-4pm. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Mrs Burbage.

In the run up to this week, year 6 worked incredibly hard with their revision. We wish them all the best of luck this week whilst they take their exams! Good luck Year 6!

Everyone experiences anxiety sometimes, and it is completely normal. In the current circumstances

it is understandable that you or your child might be worried about being apart when schools reopen.

We’ve put together some strategies to cope with separation anxiety, and support with the transition

back to school.
