Posted on: 30/09/2022A Message from Carly EllisI can’t believe we are at the end of September already! It has been an incredibly busy start to the year. We have had a few visits from Suzanne Flack (CEO) which have been extremely positive. The children have all spoken with enthusiasm about all the learning that is taking place and the opportunities they are given. Some of the classes have already been out of school for some experiences. Thank you to all the parents who are volunteering your time to support us on these trips. One of our focuses this year is to ensure that children can confidently articulate their learning and be more confident in sharing their knowledge with others. Teachers and support staff are encouraging children to speak in complete sentences using a wide vocabulary bank. This was evident in the visits from Suzanne. Due to personal circumstances, Mrs Gibbs will no longer be leading Forest School. Mr Ripley will be leading these sessions now until Mrs Cullen returns from her maternity leave. The Forest School sessions will be for half a day every week rather than a whole day every two weeks. Therefore, the day your child does Forest School will remain the same but they will have the session every week on that day. Please can children come to school dressed appropriately. They will then either have their session in the morning or in the afternoon. Miss Bolt, who is currently in Owl Class will be the temporary LSA in Otter Class until we have recruited a new member to our team. Miss Fitzsimmons will be joining us on the 10th October as our new SENCO. She will be arranging an opportunity for parents to meet her. On other staffing news, Mrs Cullen has had a little boy! We are all looking forward to meeting the little man and seeing her soon.Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 22/07/2022Message from the TrustThe last few weeks of term have been busy with lots of celebrations, trips and events to mark the end of the year. Our Y6 Leavers event hosted at Taunton school was a really lovely day which both staff and pupils enjoyed. This is going to be a regular event in the Trust diary. We wish all our Y6 students every success for the future as they enter the next phase of their education. We love hearing about their achievements after they leave us so please do keep in touch and let us know how they are getting on. Thank you for all the support you have given our schools over the year. It has been a challenging period, especially with staff absence due to covid, but our staff have been amazing covering absent colleagues, taking on extra roles and responsibilities and providing remote learning to make sure our pupils didn’t miss out. Thank you to each and every one of them for all the wonderful work they have done. It looks as though the lovely weather might continue into the summer holidays. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing I wish you and your families a lovely summer break and look forward to seeing you all in the autumn. Suzanne Flack, CEO.Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

Posted on: 10/06/2022Young Artists CompetitionAs part of the Platinum Jubilee commemorations The Redstart Learning Partnership arranged an all-school Arts Competition to create Jubilee-themed artwork. The judging panel included Suzanne Flack (CEO of The Redstart Learning Partnership), Sue Lennox (a talented local artist who has created many amazing murals across the Trust schools), and Ethne Staniland (Trust Curriculum Lead for Art). The competition entries were exceptional and the judges had a very difficult task to choose the winners. Prizes were awarded for each year group (from Reception to Year 6), and the winning entries will have their work displayed at the Brewhouse Theatre, Taunton to coincide with the TRLP’s Performing art festival. Congratulations to our own Jessica!Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
