Dear Parents
As we come to the end of another school year, I wanted to pass on the thanks of the school team to all of you for your active support of your children and the school. Our partnership is strong because of our shared commitment to do the best for all our children.
We bid a fond farewell to our Year 6 children and wish them every success for the future as they move onto their secondary schools. They will be dearly missed for the unique gifts and talents they have shared with us over the years but I am sure they leave us as confident, articulate young people ready for the next phase of their lives.
We also say goodbye to Mrs Thiba who is returning to Malysia, Mrs Hassana who is moving to
Coventry and Mrs Choudhary who takes up a new role in September. Our children have been fortunate to experience their guidance and care during their time at the school. We warmly welcome Mr Beacon and Mrs McBeath to our teaching team and Mr Poore who will lead PE and Games next year. And welcome back to school Mrs Precious.
I would like to thank all our unsung heroes who work behind the scenes to help our school, especially our Governors who work with leaders to ensure continual improvement.
I think we all know how marvellous our staff team is; all go above and beyond every day and I would like to extend my thanks to them for all they do and wish them a restful and wonderful holiday.
U. Clark

Year 6 Take Over! - On Thursday our Year 6 ran our school. Here is a message from our Headteachers—Tiffany and Isabelle. Our Amazing Year 6s!
On Wednesday, Year 6 performed “What a knight!” brilliantly to their parents and families. They worked really hard, gave a lovely performance full of entertainment and a few hidden jokes. Finally, to finish off their week, they took over the school—but sadly none of the teachers got a day off! What a week!

Arbor App
We would like to let you know in advance that our school is transferring from our current systems (Studybugs, Scopay, School App) to new system/platform called ARBOR. This will take place from 1st September 2025. On the first day back to school, your child will receive a letter regarding the login details to ARBOR. This will need to be promptly actioned in order for a smooth school communication.
To help us with this transfer please could you book your child's EB/LO in person by requesting the paper booking form from the reception for the first week back. We are excited to get ARBOR on board, as this will utilize all school correspondence, payments, absence under one platform.
Many thanks for your cooperation. |

This week, our Year 6s have been up to a lot! The week started with a few girls and boys visiting F1 Williams Site, enjoying their incredible treat including racing simulators and problem solving as a team.

Year 3/4 Healthy Schools week!
We had such a fun time during our healthy schools week. We took on the challenge of creating our own Top Trump cards based on the top places in Portsmouth that can boost our mental health. We used different devices and sources to explore the best places in Portsmouth and sorted them into the type of activity it was. We narrowed this down to 3 categories: Calmness, activeness and fun!
Feel free to play the game at home and maybe even pay a visit to these amazing places!
