Heads up from Mrs Day

The Year 6 children have been having a wonderful time on their residential and I can’t wait to hear all about their adventures. The children who were unable to attend have participated in some fun activities, including a cake sale for the school on Thursday - thank you to those of you who supported. I was lucky enough to join the Year 2 class this week for their swimming lessons and I was so proud of the resilience and determination they showed in the pool. I had a lot of fun! This term seems to have flown by and we are already at a half term break. We have managed to fit a lot of things in to such a short term including performances, cake sales, school trips, SATS, English courses for parents, drama workshops and author visits - all alongside the National Curriculum! Next term is always a busy one with more school trips, our colour run, summer fete and other events such as sports day and statutory assessments. We can’t wait for all of the fun things. Please see the information below regarding an opportunity to take part in a Mental Health Anxiety workshop. Please also see the final call for our School Cookery Book which has been created by the School Association. This is a great idea to collect recipe ideas from staff and parents in one place and I know there are some old favourites in their (including one from my mum!) so please do support us and buy one. They make excellent family presents!

I hope you all have a wonderful half term break and I am looking forward to seeing you for our final term of the academic year at 08.35am on Monday 2nd June.

Pay it forward top up account available on Arbor.

In previous years, the school has been in a position to make some funding available to pay for school trips and activities for those children and families facing financial hardship. As the number of families in this group has risen and the national issues of school funding are hitting Thomas Reade, it is now no longer possible for the school to guarantee this facility going forwards. 

We firmly believe that every child in every class deserves the opportunity to benefit from all of these important enrichment experiences and are launching a pay-it-forward initiative to provide a mechanism for our community to come together and help support places on these school trips and activities so that no child is left behind. 

Any amount you can give will be used for a general 'pay it forward' fund to support places on school trips for families facing financial hardship. Payments to this account can be found on the front page of your parent portal under the accounts section where you can top up an amount of your choice. Please see below as an example:
