We come to the end of yet another school term and time seems to be flying. Once again it has been a very busy, yet productive term and I am pleased to report on the school’s continued successes in the following areas:

• The continuing good behaviour and attitude of our pupils.
• The continued support and engagement of parents and the local community in the school’s drive for improvements and in fundraising events.
• The recent and past CFA/school events and the Diversity Celebration Event—what a great response!
• The stable staff team and the governing body that remains committed to furthering the work of the school and it’s achievements.
Our priorities remain:
• Improving children's reading, writing and mathematics skills.
• More able pupils to achieve higher grades.
• Parking!! Improving the behaviour of some parents in the car park.

Diversity Celebrations As you know our diversity celebrations will take place over two days and will end with an International Extravaganza on Tuesday 19th March from 3-5pm. Tickets will include sample food tasting, arts and crafts activities and entry to the Cranbrook Variety Show which will begin at 4pm. Tickets will be available to purchase on the day if the event is outside. Due to the weather we are unsure whether the event will take place in the main hall or playground, therefore a reduced number of tickets have been released. We will release more when we know more about the weather. Please note - as the event begins at 3pm, school will finish at 2.45pm for all pupils. If the event is held in the playground classes will be dismissed from the front or side of the school and NOT the playground - please see the plan (which is on a separate A5 sheet). If the event is held in the main hall dismissal will be from the usual place for classes and entrance to the event will be via the main hall in the car park. If you are not able to collect your child at 2.45pm please inform the class teacher, so that we may make arrangements for him/her.

Car Park I am absolutely appalled at the behaviour of a minority of parents with their dangerous driving, parking and atrocious behaviour towards one another. Once again we have had complaints and observed this ourselves. HAVE SOME DECENCY, PEOPLE!! :(
Parents’ Evening for Nursery - Year 5 Please remember that parents evening is on Thursday 14th March.
World Book Day It was fantastic to see so many children dress up as their favourite book character last week. The classes took part in lots of literary related activities. A great time was had by all! I would like to take the opportunity to thank all staff for their contribution, especially the literacy team led by Aine, Ian and Samantha.
Fronter Have you logged onto Fronter? Have you tried any of the activities? What do you think of the activities? We would like to hear your views. If you can share your experience of Fronter and tell us what you like or make any suggestions, please come to outside the Year 2 Green classroom during parents evening to complete a mini survey and post in the Fronter box.
The Big Pedal Thank you to the 78 children who cycled and scooted to school on Friday. Our very first Biker’s Breakfast was popular, Dr Bike was busy fixing bikes and some of our Year 3 children enjoyed Beginners Cycling Sessions.
Our next Big Pedal event is on Wednesday 20th March and again, all children who cycle or scoot to school will receive a raffle ticket and are invited to join our Biker’s Breakfast in the small hall from 8.30am. The Dr Bike session is now full and slips have been sent home to those allocated a place. If your child has not received a slip, you do not have a place. Bikes should be clearly labelled and left in the gym area in the playground. Beginners cycling sessions will take place for more of our Year 3 and 4 children.
We will be running another Dr Bike session and more beginners sessions so that all who signed up can take part at a later date.
Instrument Lessons If your child receives violin lessons from Bradley , he will not be teaching on Tuesday 26th March as he will be acting as an examiner for the Music Service.

PARKING We have received numerous complaints from members of the public regarding the irresponsible behaviour of parents when they are dropping off/collecting their children from school. Some of the reports relate to similar incidents where parents have stopped their car in the middle of the busy main road where very young children have let themselves out of the vehicle without checking for traffic and running across the road. I am appalled that parents have so little regard for the safety of their children and hope that we have no further incidents such as these reported to us. I am well aware that we all lead very busy lives but please do not let negligence result in the serious injury of a child.
