In these worrying times, here is a lovely, short and simple story to help us all, but especially our pupils:

Advice for children worried about Coronavirus
Please rest assured that we are dealing with pupils’ concerns around the current Coronavirus issues. However, the link below is fantastic for helping parents allay their children’s fears – and is also useful for older pupils to use themselves.
Cross Country – Bomere Heath’s County Success!
We are very proud to announce that Jessica, of Grinshill Class, has won the all-Shropshire Cross Country Championship for Year 3 girls. She had previously won the North Shropshire Championship to qualify for the event held at the Shrewsbury Sports Village on Tuesday 10th March 2020.
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.
World Book Day
For World Book Day this year, the children in Pimhill and Haughmond dressed up as characters from their favourite stories. Here are some of their fabulous costumes!
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.
Safer Internet Day 2020
We have celebrated Safer Internet Day this week:
- The global theme is ‘together for a better internet’ and this year in the UK we are putting the focus on how young people explore and express their identity online.
- Everyone has their part to play in making the internet a better place, including you!
Pupils have shared their ideas around this theme and thought really hard about how they should use the internet.
If you would like any further information, we recommend that you look at the following link, which details how parents and carers can help their children safe online:
