Friday 11th September 2026

It has been wonderful to welcome our children back to school and to complete our first full week of the new academic year. The school has been full of energy, enthusiasm and excitement as children have settled quickly into their new classes and routines.

I would like to thank all of our families for their continued support during the start of term. It has been particularly lovely to see so many families attending our Meet the Teacher sessions this week. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity to build strong home-school partnerships and to share important information about your child's learning journey for the year ahead. For those families who have yet to attend, our sessions will continue into next week and we look forward to welcoming you then.

As we begin another exciting year together, we are looking forward to the many opportunities, experiences and achievements that lie ahead for our children. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us ensure every child has the very best start to the school year.

Reception 2027 Admissions

We would like to remind families that the application window for Reception 2027 admissions opens on Monday 14th September.

Applications should be completed online through the Sandwell School Admissions website. Families who live outside of Sandwell should apply through the admissions process for their own local authority, even if they wish to apply for a place at our school.

We encourage families with children due to start Reception in September 2027 to submit their applications before the published deadline to ensure they are considered during the main admissions round.

Forest School

We are excited that Forest School will be up and running from next week, starting with Year 1. A separate communication has been sent to families confirming the day on which their child will be taking part.

World Mental Health Day - Photo competition

On Friday 9th October 2026, we will be celebrating World Mental Health Day in school. Children and staff are invited to wear yellow to help raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing.

We are also launching a Mental Health and Wellbeing Photo Competition. Children are invited to submit a photograph of something that supports their wellbeing, such as spending time with family and friends, enjoying a hobby, being active, or spending time outdoors.

Entries must be received by Monday 5th October. Please ensure all photographs include your child's name and class. Winners will receive a special prize and photographs will be displayed around school.

Please see the separate letter for full details.

This morning, we were delighted to welcome our new Year 5 families to our Meet the Teacher event. It was wonderful to see children working alongside their families and sharing their Proud Pathway journeys. We loved hearing about the achievements that make our children so proud, whether that was learning to ride a bike at home or receiving a Values Award in school. These moments remind us that every success, big or small, contributes to a child's growth and confidence.
