Dear Friends,
School News
Queen Elizabeth II
At Bomere Heath C.E Primary School we are all deeply saddened by the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
We shall remember her service through our learning and Worship, and consider how as our Queen she was the embodiment of, and a role model for, our school values of Love, Hope and Respect. We will be thankful for the times that we have been able to come together as a community to celebrate Royal jubilees, birthdays and weddings.
Our thoughts and prayers are with our new King, Charles III, along with the wider Royal Family as they mourn the loss of a beloved mother and grandmother.

Colour Run
Last weekend, a group from our Federation took part in a 5km colour, obstacle rush at Wolverhampton Racecourse in aid of The Harry Johnson Trust. We had a fabulous morning and were all very colourful by the end! So far, we’ve raised a total of £465!
Decades Day
We have had a super day learning about all of the decades of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. We found out about life in the different decades and how it has changed since 1952. This included exploring clothes, TV, toys and music. For lunch Ro made us an eighties inspired dinner, with sponge and pink custard and in our P.E. lessons, we enjoyed ‘retro’ dances, including the Macarena, Whigfield’s Saturday Night and Achy Breaky Heart!
Here are some pictures of our day!
