Dear Parent / Carer,
My thanks to all those parents who attended our Parent Meetings this week. These meetings are part of our commitment to effective communication with parents that will help our children to enjoy, and achieve in, school. I hope that you all now know your child’s new teacher and are aware of those things that will help your child to be successful in school this year.

E-twinning Award
Well done to Miss Thackeray for her efforts in developing International friendships that have been recognised by the E-twinning Award. Miss Thackeray has been instrumental in establishing an Arts-focused partnership between nine European schools, including Robin Hood, that has now led to a formal two-year Comenius partnership. As part of this work, we will be working with schools in Italy, Norway, Austria and the Czech Republic.
International Schools Award
My thanks also to Mrs Wathen for her leadership, commitment and enthusiasm that have led to the re-accredition of our International Schools Award. We view the International curriculum as a vitally important part of our children’s education for life in the inter-connected twenty first century world.
Bikes, Dogs and Sweets
A reminder that bikes and dogs are not allowed on school property due to Health & Safety concerns around small children. Sweets – including cough and sore throat sweets – should not be brought into school. We ask all members of the community to respect these requests.
Have a fabulous weekend,
Mr Wilson
