School Value of the Month
Our value this month is Respect for God’s World – pupils will learn how to respect God’s world, about people who have shown this respect, sing hymns and say prayers to help them think about God’s World.
NSPCC – Buddy came to visit!
We welcomed a team from the NSPCC (and their mascot Buddy!) to school to work with all pupils on how to stay safe – their message is Speak Out, Stay Safe.
Children learned what constitutes abuse, who to talk to if they feel unsafe and the number to call Childline – 0800 11 11.
Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in an additional workshop aimed at developing pupils’ understanding of specific dangers online, who their trusted adults are and how they can help themselves and each other stay safe.

World Book Day 2020
On Thursday 5th March, we celebrated World Book Day, where pupils and teachers dressed up as their favourite characters!
We were, as always, very impressed with the outfits – from The Hungry Caterpillar to Tom Gates, from Alice in Wonderland to Zog!
We would like to thank parents and carers for using this opportunity to send in donations for the Shrewsbury Food Bank – there is now a huge shipment of non-perishable goods on its way to Barnabas Church to help local families in times of need. Barnabas – Shrewsbury Food Bank
Pupils were sent home with £1 book tokens, which can be used against the price of a book or in exchange for a special World Book Day book, available at major book retailers during March.
