A note from Mr Applegate
It was great to share in our worship this week about diversity and opportunity. Mrs Long, our IT Technician, shared about her career in IT and how she enjoys using technology to help others, and her experience of leading teams of developers. Mrs Long has made a huge difference to our school too, and we are rightly preparing our children for the world they will live and work in. We want our child to see that everyone can make a difference, everyone has opportunity, and that everyone can achieve! Race, gender, religion, ethnicity etc – there are no barriers!
Our children continue to work very hard, and their presentation and pride is impressive. Have a look at our latest Year 5 post for an example.
I’m pleased to say that our covid cases have dropped right down across the school. We are likely to be back to year group bubbles soon! Cases numbers in Basingstoke are still higher than national, so we will continue to be cautious. Please remember to let us know the results of any PCR tests even if negative. It’s tricky if a child has had a test, comes back to school, but we don’t have confirmation of a negative result. Thank you.
We’re pleased to celebrate and think about Harvest this week. Whilst we won’t take in food donations, we would ask you to consider giving online to Basingstoke Foodbank if you are able.
Deadlines for next week (by 15th October)!
- Pumpkin trail order form
- Christmas Candle Order
- Y6 Bikeability Form
Don’t forget to book a parents’ evening slot too!
Have a great weekend, Mr Applegate :)
