Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to the first newsletter of the school year. It is brilliant to see all of the bright, shining faces, ready for another year of powerful learning at Robin Hood.
Along with your child’s phase newsletter, these will be the final newsletters produced en-masse in paper form. As of next week, newsletters will be posted to our school website blog.

Thank you
I would like to say an enormous thank you to Mr Reynolds and our Summer Team for the very hard work that they have put in throughout the summer. This is vitally important work that should never be allowed to go ‘under the radar’. The fact that we have such a fabulous learning environment of which we can all be proud is entirely down to the hard work of Mr Reynolds and the entire team at Robin Hood.
I’m sure that you have noticed many of the developments, upgrades and enhancements that have taken place during the summer. Our commitment to providing a World Class learning environment for our children remains as strong as ever. I’m sure you will notice more developments when you are in school for our Parent Meetings next week.
Friendly Faces
Friendly Faces have had a terrific summer of fun… and it has been great to see the team working so brilliantly with our children. Very few spaces at Friendly Faces remain for weekdays. School Holiday and Training Day availability remain open at this time. Please contact Louise Parker for more information or to book, either at Friendly Faces or on 07810071148.

Nursery Parents whose children stay for the front part of the week will have their Celebration Evening opportunity on a Tuesday in the same week as the Celebration Friday. Precise dates will be in next week’s newsletter. Look out for dates specific to your child’s phase in school in upcoming newsletters.
Electronic Newsletter
Future newsletters will be published in electronic format. In order to ensure that you are up to date with information, dates, etc, please follow the newsletter blog or give your email address to Mrs Smith in order that we can mail the newsletter to you direct. Please do let us know if you do not have access to a computer to receive the e-newsletter or wish to continue to receive it in paper form via Pupil Post.
It’s great to welcome you back and I look forward to another outstanding year at our outstanding school,
Mr Wilson
