The children in year 5 and 6 are taking part in a DFE national reading competition. The children have logged onto the secure competition website and are asked to read a book from each category (there are 8 categories in total) between 21st January and  22nd March 2013.

When the children have logged to say they have completed reading a book they will be asked two questions to explore how they felt about the book they have just read.

We have many of the books featured on the reading list in school for the children to borrow and some of the titles are also available for children to read online. Children could also visit the library in Shard End to borrow a book they would like to read.

Children who take part can win individual awards for:

The most books read

The most interesting written responses to books.

As a school we can also win a donation of books from Pearson, Penguin and DK Publishers.

We wish all of our year 5 and 6 pupils the best in this competition- Happy reading!!

Could you all please make sure that children have suitable hair styles for school.
Long hair must be tied back and boys must not have shaved heads or hair styles with a pattern.

Thank you for your everyone's co-operation.

Red Noses are available to purchase from the school office for £1 each.
We have bought a large quantity of noses to ensure that all children are able to buy one.
There are three different designs to pick from, as shown below.
All money raised will go to charity.

If you wish to buy one please feel free to ask at the office.

Parking Reminder


There is to be NO parking at all on or near the slip road leading into school.
The slip road now has double yellow lines to indicate that there is to be no parking at all.

There have been several occasions where people have parked on the slip road and blocked access into school, meaning staff and visitors cannot enter site.

If you are dropping your child off to school you need to park on the roads around school.
Keeping clear of the slip road and any driveways.

Thank you.
