Visit from the Police

We have had an exciting assembly this morning when we had a visit from two Police Officers – Police Constable Davies and Police Community Support Officer Hyde.  They talked about their different roles and then the children had the opportunity to ask some questions.  They wanted to know about Police dogs and the different breeds, the different aspects of their roles (best bits and not so good bits!),  what was the uniform like and was it comfortable and how many different police vehicles they have.

The Reception children then had the opportunity to learn about the police car and sit in it – they even turned the blue lights and siren on – it was very loud! @Bridgnorthcops

Coronation Celebrations – Friday 5th May

Good Morning,

This is just a reminder that children can wear red, white and blue clothing, or royalty themed clothing, on Friday to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.

We are hoping that the children can have their lunch outside on the playground as a treat, but this is weather dependent.

As always, there will also be the choice of Jacket Potato and Cheese or Ham sandwich.

Little Explorers Pre-School Fundraising for new Outdoor Area

Little Explorers needs OUR help!

We would like to support Pre-School with their fundraising as they are wanting to develop and resource the new outdoor area that they can now use.  Since they had their extension built, the children had very little outdoor learning and play space.  We work very closely with Little Explorers as they are a vital facility for the community, and as we have so much outdoor space, and with the recent removal of the rotten, old adventure playground we have offered this space to pre-school.  But it is an empty plot of land at the moment and Pre-School need resources – so we want to help them as much as possible.  Their current fundraiser is to ‘Grow a Sunflower’:

Escooters and Powered Vehicles

We would just like to draw parents attention to the regulations for Escooters and other powered vehicles:

It is illegal to use a powered transporter:

  • on a public road without complying with a number of legal requirements, which potential users will find very difficult
  • in spaces that are set aside for use by pedestrians, cyclists, and horse-riders; this includes on the pavement and in cycle lanes
