Exciting News! We're thrilled to announce that the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school on Thursday 1st May 2025! It's the perfect chance for students to explore a fantastic selection of books, and with our special 3 for 2 offer (get the cheapest book free!), it's an amazing opportunity to stock up on summer reading materials! The Book Fair will be in school until Wednesday 7th May 2025, so don't miss out! But that's not all! To get everyone even more excited, we're kicking off our Easter reading competition! Kids can enter by reading as many books as they can over the Easter holidays, then sharing a short review or drawing a picture about one of their books. Five lucky winners will receive a £5 voucher to spend at the Book Fair! Entries are due by Tuesday 29th April 2025, so encourage your child to get reading and submit their entries. Be sure to include their name and class on it! We can't wait to see all the reading excitement in May! Let's inspire a love for books in our children!
Welcome back! We hope everyone had a lovely Easter break and is feeling refreshed for the new term! Just a quick reminder that from this term onwards, children should come to school wearing their P.E. kit on the day their class has P.E. This helps with hygiene, saves learning time and supports children's comfort and confidence. P.E. Days this term: Reception – Thursday Year 1 – Tuesday Year 2 – Monday Year 3 – Thursday Year 4 – Wednesday Year 5 – Wednesday Year 6 – Friday Thanks for your support – we're looking forward to a fantastic summer term!
Summer Festival Raffle – Can You Help? As part of our exciting Summer Festival this term, we're on the lookout for raffle prizes to help make the event a great success! We're reaching out to local businesses who might be able to support us – and we'd love your help too! If you know anyone who might be willing to donate a prize, please pass on this post or pop into the School Office for a physical copy of our request letter. Every contribution, big or small, makes a huge difference – thank you for supporting our Temple Meadow community!
We're thrilled to have received our list of names for our Reception 2025 cohort - welcome to all our September starters! If you have secured a place with us, we can't wait to meet you and your family. After the Easter break, we'll be in touch to officially welcome you into the Temple Meadow Primary School community. If your child is joining us in Reception and has a younger sibling, don't forget that we offer both 15 and 30-hour nursery places too.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated in and donated on Break the Uniform Rules Day! We raised an amazing £224 in total, and every penny will go towards our efforts to raise enough for HugglePets!
