Newsletter 15.09.23
Dear Parents/Carers,
With the first full week under our belts, I would like to commend the pupils on how well they have got back into school routines. One of our school core values is determination, shown on a daily basis by our pupils to overcome challenges, no matter how big or small. From learning to zip up coats, to holding a conversation in Spanish, the determination shown by our pupils never fails to impress me.
School Games Gold Award
I am very proud to tell you that we have been awarded the School Games Gold Mark from the government this year. This is an award scheme that celebrates schools that go above and beyond in their commitment to competitive sport and physical activity through school and with the community. Thankyou to Miss Johnstone, the staff and of course our amazing children for their involvement.
Parents' Evening
Parents' Evenings will take place on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th October.
(NB Y4 Mrs Hurst/Mrs Collier will be Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th October)
Message from Mrs Carver and Mrs Holden
We are delighted to inform you that children’s author Lindsay Littleson is visiting Marus Bridge on Monday 13th November to deliver two whole-school assemblies and creative writing workshops for Years 4, 5 and 6. During the assemblies, Lindsay will read an extract from one or two of her novels and finish with a pupil question and answer session. There will also be a book signing slot at the end of the day for children who purchase books – order forms will be available closer to the time. The children will have a fantastic day with Lindsay, and this will be an amazing opportunity for them to work with an inspirational published author. For the visit, we are requesting a voluntary contribution of £2 per family via Parentmail.
Have a lovely weekend everyone,
Mr Aldridge
