A Headteachers award was received by
Hershil Shah (Reception Yellow) and by Shlok Verma (Reception Blue) for their
fantastic numeracy skills.
Well done to all of you!
Racist Incidents I am increasingly concerned that some of our children from
the minority groups in our school have once again been victims of racism and
racist name calling. I would encourage all parents to support the school’s
policy. I would highlight that recently there have been three victims, who all
have Black African, Black Caribbean or Black British backgrounds. So for me, as
Headteacher, there appears to be a common theme, which we will address in
assemblies and in class discussions. Please also note that all incidents are
recorded and reported to the Local Authority and the victim and perpetrators
are always spoken to.
