Friday 18th July 2025

I can’t quite believe it’s already been a whole year since I had the privilege of becoming Headteacher at Temple Meadow Primary School; what a joyful and memorable year it has been!

There has been a real community feel throughout the year; something truly special that sets Temple Meadow apart. I am so incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved together.

Our children continue to shine with their curiosity, creativity and kindness, and our staff remain wholeheartedly dedicated to nurturing and inspiring every child every day.

To all of you - our amazing families - thank you for your ongoing support, encouragement, and partnership. Your backing has been absolutely vital and deeply appreciated.

Have a lovely summer break and we look forward to seeing you all in September.

Fundraising Goal SMASHED!

At the start of the year, we set ourselves the ambitious target of raising £1,500 to support the cost of HugglePets therapeutic sessions here at Temple Meadow next academic year.

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that you’ve more than doubled that target - raising an incredible £3,059.70! 👏🎉

This amazing total has been raised through your generous support of fundraising events across the year, including Break the Rule Day, Ice Cream Treat Fridays, and our brilliant Summer Festival.

A huge well done to:

  • Nellie, who correctly guessed the name of the baby teddy as Opal - a name linked to an exciting new outdoor learning venture launching next academic year!
  • Sam, who won the Guess the Sweets in the Jar competition with the closest guess to 279.

Please also remember that we may receive even more funding if we’re successful in the Tesco Stronger Starts - so if you’re shopping at Tesco Cradley, don’t forget to pop your blue token in the box for Temple Meadow!

Thank you once again for your continued support, your generosity is helping us bring meaningful, therapeutic experiences to all of our children. 🐾💙

Events this week

A huge thank you to Year 5 for sharing your musical journey with the ukulele - what a joy it was to see how much progress you've made!

Well done to Year 6 for your fabulous end-of-year production -  your talent, confidence and teamwork shone through. You gave us all such a memorable performance to end your primary school journey!

It was also a real treat to see some of our Nursery children graduate this week - you all looked so grown up in your caps and gowns, and we are so proud of you all. What a fantastic way to celebrate your first steps in learning! Head over to our Facebook page to see some gorgeous photos from the day.

Head Boys/Head Girls announcement

As we say a big thank you and goodbye to our outgoing Headboys and Headgirls, we are excited to welcome our new leaders for the year ahead.

So many children in our current Year 5 put themselves forward and delivered passionate speeches about why they are proud to be part of Temple Meadow. It was truly inspiring to see their confidence and commitment!

We’d like to celebrate our new Headboys and Headgirls - congratulations to Aizah, Clarke, Leah, Zaharon, Gurveer and Ziah! We’re so proud to have you representing our school.

We look forward to seeing you lead with pride and enthusiasm next year!

Values and Curriculum Champions Assembly

A huge well done to all of our Values Winners and Curriculum Champions who were announced in this morning’s assembly!

This half-term's school value was Thrive - and it was wonderful to see so many children showing how they are growing in confidence, embracing challenges and giving their best every day.

We are so proud of each and every one of you - keep up the fantastic work!

         

Best Wishes to Miss Barnham 💐

We’d like to take a moment to wish Miss Barnham all the very best as she begins her maternity leave. We are so excited for her as she prepares to welcome her new arrival and know you’ll join us in sending her lots of love and good wishes for this special time.

We look forward to hearing her happy news in the near future! 👶✨
