• Parents' Evenings

  Mon 13 Feb 2023

  Here are the arrangements for the Parents' Evenings which will take place in school on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th February.

   

  • You can book a 10-minute slot by signing up on lists outside classrooms.
  • Please enter the building using the entrance shown on the map below.
  • Appointments are 10 minutes long, and we have to be as precise as we can with the timings as we don't want to inconvenience anyone. The teacher will use a timer. Please don't think that the teacher is being rude when the time is up, it's just that they need to clear the classroom for the next appointment. If you'd like to carry on the conversation, you are welcome to arrange a follow-up phone call – see below.
  • Children will bring their books home on Friday 10th February to give you a chance to have a look at them. If they could take them back to school on the morning of Monday 13th February, that would be much appreciated as they will need to use them in school.
  • Mask-wearing is at parents' and teachers' discretions.

  
  If you cannot make the Monday/Tuesday, or you are running late for your appointment, you can email the teacher to arrange a phone call on a mutually convenient day and time:

• Year 3/4 Dodgeball

  Fri 10 Feb 2023 Mr Hutchinson

  Our Year 3/4 Dodgeball Team represented us in the AVSSP Year 3/4 Heanor Dodgeball Competition and reached the Semi-Finals as they achieved a 4th place finish!

   

  12 teams representing schools from the Heanor Area took part in the event at Heanor Leisure Centre and competed in 2 groups of 6 before Semi-Finals, a Final and Play-Off games took place. Our children recorded 5 victories from 7 matches including a win against the eventual winners. The children’s determination, honesty, focus and effort during the matches was incredible, their off-court behaviour was also exceptional. I’m very proud of the manner in which they represented us and look forward to seeing how these young athletes develop not just in the rest of this school year but in their remaining years with us.

   

  Thank you to AVSSP for another fantastic competition and thank you to all the parents who were able to give lifts to and from the competition and support the children on the night.

• Non-Uniform Day

  Fri 10 Feb 2023

  Good morning! A quick reminder that tomorrow is non-uniform day for Mental Health Week. "Dress to Express" - children are invited to come to school in clothing which makes them happy/comfortable 🧢 Thanks 🙂

• Year 2 Dodgeball

  Fri 03 Feb 2023 Mr Hutchinson

  Our Year 2 Dodgeball Team from Mrs Goodburn’s class represented us at the AVSSP KS1 Dodgeball competition at Heanor Leisure Centre. The team played 7 matches against other schools from the Heanor area and 1 match against their own parents! I think it was that match that they preferred the most! Our children improved as the competition went on and whilst we didn’t win many matches they learnt skills that will help them in Dodgeball as they continue to play and progress in it when they arrive in Upper School in September. The children were once again fantastic ambassadors for our school and we should be very proud of them. Their behaviour and honesty was outstanding!

   

  Thank you to AVSSP for another wonderful competition and to our amazing parents for all the help with transporting the children to/from the competition as well as their amazing support and skills on the dodgeball court!
