Thursday 6th March is designated as World Book Day which is a global celebration of books and reading, observed in over 100 countries worldwide. This special day aims to inspire a love of reading in children and to encourage them to explore the wonderful world of books. It's a fantastic opportunity for children to discover new stories and characters, and to share their favourite books with friends.
I write with great news - Frankie, our new crossing patrol starts this Friday!
As we continue to prioritise the safety and well-being of our pupils, we’d like to remind everyone of a few important safety guidelines. Please take a moment to read through these points and encourage your child to follow them for their own safety.
Why is it important to put down your phone when your child is reading to you?
As parents, we all know how important it is to support our children's reading and learning. One of the most special moments is when your child reads aloud to you. It’s a chance for them to practice, build confidence, and bond with you. However, if you’re distracted by your mobile phone during these moments, your child will be missing out on your full support.
A very kind parent has organised a petition with Surrey County Council to improve the road safety outside the school on Grange Road to include re-painting of the road markings, double yellow lines on both side of Grange Road outside the school and flashing school warning signs in both directions.
