  Dear Families, 

   

  I have been made aware of the ongoing water issues in the areas around school. A water main in Cradley Heath has burst, meaning some properties in DY2 have experienced low pressure or no water, including Dudley Wood Road.  I have been speaking with families and staff who live closest to school. They have reported that the issue seems to have been resolved. However, the waterboard are yet to confirm that the water supply has returned and will remain as normal. 

   

  At the moment, we are planning to open school as normal and children are expected in. 

   

  In the morning, Mr Chance and I will be heading into school early to check how our school supply is and assess whether school can open. I will send you a text message as early as I can to inform whether we can open or not.  Should we need to close, home learning will be provided on our website or on Seesaw. Further communications will confirm this when we know for sure.

   

  Thank you for your understanding. I wanted to give you all as much notice as possible, just in case you need to have a backup plan for childcare. 

   

  Mr Beacham

• School clubs - summer term 1

  Thu 18 Apr 2024

  After lots of family feedback, we are re-introducing our club offer. For clubs to run, a small charge will need to be included. Teacher clubs will be charged at £1 per week. For clubs run by Richard our specialist coach, we will charge £3 a week. Clubs are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Richard will send letters for his clubs separately to the appropriate year groups. 

   

  If you would like to reserve a place at one of the clubs, please make a payment on your ParentPay account.  Clubs will go live on Friday 19th April 2024 at 10:00am.  For clubs with limited numbers a first come first served basis will apply. Once the places have been filled you will be unable to book through ParentPay. 

   

  Please read the attached letter full details. 

  

• Big Battery Hunt

  Wed 17 Apr 2024

  We are excited to announce that our school's Sustainability Committee is once again launching our battery collection initiative! This time around, we're adding a fun twist: a year group competition.

   

  Starting today, we encourage all students to bring in their used batteries to their classrooms. The more batteries they collect, the greater chance their year group has of winning fantastic prizes!

   

  The competition will run until Wednesday, 12th June, so be sure to gather up those old batteries and send them in with your child. Not only will this help us contribute to a healthier environment by properly disposing of batteries, but it will also teach our children about the importance of sustainability and recycling.

   

  Let's work together to make a positive impact and show our commitment to preserving our planet for future generations.

  Thank you for your support,

  Miss Gellatly and the Sustainability Committee.
