Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome back to the Summer Term at Robin Hood. I trust that you had a lovely pre- Easter Break.
Air conditioning in the Reception classroom, a new outdoor stage, shade sail removals, a refitted store room, new flooring in two of the Year 34 classes, extensive work on all toilet blocks, new safety and security features, electrics and storage at Friendly Faces, refurbishment work on the school grounds and an extended bins enclosure to help us recycle more of our waste and a thorough clean throughout… the work doesn’t stop during the holidays at Robin Hood. Once again, my thanks to Mr Reynolds and our dedicated team that includes Mrs McGrail, Mrs Wyman, Mrs Hick and Mrs Nash.
It really is the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff at Robin Hood that make it the magical place that it is. Those of you who live close by will have noticed the sheer number of staff cars in the Car Park throughout the holiday period. I take that as a measure of the calibre of the staff here.
I can safely say that we’ve had a busy week in school this week, beginning with an Easter Assembly, followed by a visit from the Calendar News team, followed by a call from ofsted…. We have welcomed the inspection team to Robin Hood this week and will notify you of their findings as soon as we are able to.
Again, my thanks to each and every member of our staff… who are proud of our school and who have dedicated many, many additional hours this week to supporting the inspection process.
Meet Your New Teacher Day
Many of our parents have noted that the Rodillian Open Evening for Year 6’s takes place on the evening that our Year 6 pupils return from residential. We have alerted Rodillian to this issue, and to the fact that our Year 6 residential is at the same time every year in the hope that they don’t use the same date next year. All of our Year 6’s will be invited to a Tea Party at Rodillian that takes place during the school day on … The Rodillian Transition Day for Year 6 pupils is on Tuesday 5th July.
Nursery Closure
Due to the Open Day for new parents, Nursery will be closed on Friday 27th May.
Have a great Easter weekend and see you next Tuesday,
Mr Wilson
