Heads up from Mrs Day

Welcome back! It was lovely to see smiling faces on the playground on Wednesday morning despite the horrible weather. The children have settled exceptionally well and routines and expectations have been set in every classroom. All of the children have worked together on their class charters (a contract between the adults and children of the ‘rules’ of their class) and shared their hopes and dreams for the year ahead. Our first assembly concentrated on the importance of kindness and the powerful imagery of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse including my favourite saying that in a world where you can be anything be kind. Thank you for ensuring the children are all correctly dressed in their uniform and in school on time. We look forward to seeing some of you at our ‘Meet the teacher’ events next week which is a good opportunity to ask any questions you may have and learn about the plans for the year. We are also busy planning our Colour Run for Friday 26th September and hoping that the weather improves!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and we will see you Monday morning on the playground.

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:
