Autumn Term Arrangements

With just over two weeks to go before the start of the new school year, plans and preparations are well under way to welcome all pupils back to school.

Please read the latest letters that have been sent to parents outlining some of the arrangements and protective measures that we are taking, to ensure that the full opening of Bowmansgreen is as safe as possible. Apologies if you have not received either of the letters – it appears that some families did not receive the emails via the Schoolcomms app.

Parent and Carer letter – end of year and autumn term information, including start/finish times

Parent and Carer letter – breakfast club

Breakfast Club survey – only complete this survey if you are in urgent need of childcare in the autumn term.

If you are a family new to the Bowmansgreen school community, we look forward to you joining us next month. Please take a look at the Parents and Carers section of our website for information and useful contact details. All new families will need to complete and submit enrolment and data capture forms before your child starts. These forms and essential information about school meals and uniform can be found on the New Families page, under the Parents and Carers tab.

The Chair of Governors and I have been to look at how the building work for the new Lattimore and Village Surgery development is progressing. We met with the site manager who reassured us that a new path will be in place and the back gate in full use by the beginning of term. The new path will be on the other side of the Caledon Club Community Centre, between the park and the building. The parish council is encouraging families, who would have parked at the Caledon Club, to use the car park in Haseldine Road and will be funding a temporary crossing patrol so that families can safely walk to school, to their preferred entrance.

What a busy week it has been at Bowmansgreen!

Friday’s celebration assembly is always a highlight of my week as it is a time to come together as a whole school to celebrate the behaviour and achievements of our wonderful pupils. This week, I was lucky enough to have Maisie by my side, to help me announce the names of pupils who were being celebrated this morning. Maisie did a fantastic job of  presenting the cockerel cards and trophies. Thank you Maisie – you are a star!

Parents who joined us for this morning’s celebration assembly were able to hear the first performance of our new school song.  Mrs Flatt has been working with Year 5, during their music lessons, to write the lyrics and create a school song that represents our ethos, values and school life at Bowmansgreen. Thank you Mrs Flatt and Year 5 – you have done a super job. Our school song sounds amazing!

Maisie had earned the opportunity to help me with my assembly duties as a result of her bid in the staff auction at the summer fair. Other auction winners include Lyra who, with her guests, joined Miss Golding for lunch today and Ella and Kiera who have been busy baking scones with Mrs Stanley.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support their children and enjoy sports day with us on Wednesday. It was a great day and pupils in all year groups had fun taking part. Congratulations to Morpurgo House for being our winning sports day team.

Congratulations to Keira and Lucy for getting through to the final of the Rotary Club’s Junior Bake Off. The final takes place at Sandringham School on July 17th. Good luck girls!

Next week, pupils will find out who their teachers are for next year. There will be an opportunity for parents to meet the new class teachers next Thursday, during our final curriculum evening of the year. We hope to see you all there!

Enjoy your weekend.

Spanish Curriculum Evening

It was great to see so many of you showing your support at our Spanish Curriculum evening.  We had dancing, art, writing, cookery, music, and much more – all influenced by the Spanish culture. One of the main stars of the show was the tasty tapas, kindly cooked for us by our own Mrs Pitcher.

We are sure you’ll all agree it was a great evening, which gave you a small taste of Spain at Bowmansgreen.
