Dear Families 

We have reached the final week of Autumn 1 and what a great first half term it has been. We have had special events, Governor visits, authors, rock concerts, award ceremonies and so much learning! I really have a lot to thank my amazing team for who make it all happen. Many give up so much of their time to go the extra mile for your children and I know that I am one very lucky Headteacher. 

Thank you to everyone who came on Saturday and took part in our Spooktacular event. It was sensational and a HUGE thanks to Mrs Normington who organised it all and the carved pumpkins really set off the scene perfectly! I am pleased to share that we raised £325 all of which will go back to supporting our Forest School Provision.

Celebration Assembly

On Monday, we held our Celebration Assembly where we celebrated children’s achievements in school and outside of school. This was a brilliant assembly which really showcased the talents and hard work of our pupils throughout the term. In the assembly, we awarded children who had achieved 30 Proud Points their certificates, our class community cup and other awards such as the library reading challenges and trophies children had earned in their sporting or extra-curricular clubs.

Well done everyone and a special well done to our Class Community Champions for this half term who are....

Wyatt – Yellow Class, Jessica – Green Class, Malique – The Nest, Mia - RFLRS, Millie – RAM, Fabio - 1CL, Poppy - 1ES. Gregory - 2DW, Eduard – 2HD, Adriana - 3CW, Lara P – 3AP, Noah J – 4CH, Colin - 4AG, Ollie S - 5JF, Aiden G - 5KR, Marcel – 6BC, Maya - 6ENCL

Parents’ Evening

Have you booked your Parents’ Evening appointment? We are holding our Parents’ Evenings on 13th & 14th November for mainstream and 13th November for Specialist Unit. It is a really important opportunity for you to learn about your child’s progress and ask any questions that you may have. You can book by clicking on this link.

We have also had a new mini playground installed behind our Lodge. Yellow and Red class will be using this space for their playtimes but the whole school will get to use this amazing space. Just more environment improvements because your children deserve it!

Smile!

This week, our reception children and their siblings had their photos taken and it was a wonderful moment to reflect on just how well they have settled in. Already, they are very independent and their reading, writing and number work is progressing brilliantly! What a fantastic start they have made.

Keep up to date

Please sign up to our Facebook page for more information about what we do here at EHPS and please know that our doors are always open if you have a question, concern or even want to let us know what we do well.

Finally, on Wednesday, Year 6 jetted off to their PGL residential and I look forward to sharing all of the fun that they got up to and the children who remained at school (because they also had lots of fun) when we get back after the half term.

See you all after the half term where we begin Autumn 2 and our run up (dare I say it…) to Christmas!
