Dear Parent / Carer,

On Monday we hosted a visit from colleagues from Sweden who are in the UK to study progressive teaching techniques. We are delighted to receive colleagues from the region and from overseas. This recognition reflects the exceptional work that is happening at Robin Hood, every day.

Parent Governors Elections
My thanks, congratulations and welcome to Stephanie Findlay, Elliot in Nursery, Shaun Turner, father of Archie in Nursery and Michael Devaney, father of Zatoria in Year 6, who put themselves forward as prospective Parent Governors. As they were the only nominations received, they are duly elected to the Governing Body. I look forward to working alongside them for the next three years.

Individual School Photographs
Individual School Photographs will be taking place next week on Wednesday 6th October.

Friendly Faces
Friendly Faces is open during the Half Term holiday for bookings. We are unable to open on the Training Day due to staff taking leave that was pre-arranged prior to the school taking on responsibility for the setting. We will be opening for future Training Days and school holidays. Please contact Louise Parker on 07810071148 or friendlyfacesatrobinhood@gmail.com

James Driver
The Three Peaks Walk to raise money for James new wheelchair has been temporarily suspended after James’ Mum hurt her foot. She hopes to put in the order in for his chair in October. Any further donations to James’s wheelchair appeal can be made via school…. Please seal any monies in an envelope, clearly marked James Driver Fund, and deposit in the silver postbox outside the School Office.

Have a fabulous weekend,
Mr Wilson
