Headteacher Message Dear Parents and Carers,
It’s hard to believe that we are at the end of the Spring Term already! I say that it’s been a busy week every week – but my goodness: this week has been BUSY.
Despite a small interruption mid-week, we have had great success in cross-country running, including several top-10 finishes and 1st places champions; some fantastic art supported by parents in Year 4; and two nights of the most fantastic performances of Alice in Wonderland!
The children have truly been on top form, showing what being a Colehamite is all about. I am in awe of the children here at Coleham and the way they demonstrate the school values so brilliantly in everything they do, from sporting endeavours to performing on stage. What a credit they are to you all!
Regarding our visitors this week: the outcomes of this visitation will not be known for a little while. Over the coming weeks, the report will need to be written, checked and will have to go through a process before being released. We will, of course, write to you when we are able to.
Thank you to all of you for your support this week. I have had several parents and carers pass on good luck wishes, and lots of people checking in to make sure everyone is OK, and over 180 of you filled in the parent survey this week. It really means a lot to us all to have your support – you are amazing!
Have a lovely Easter break everyone, and we will see you back in April!

Alice in Wonderland We have all felt the buzz and good vibes in the air this week for our Alice in Wonderland School Production. It has been ‘wonderful’ to see each and every child shine. From characters with one line to our dancers, narrators, singers, actors and crew team, we know how much every child will have grown from this experience. We are so proud of the children who have made it a delight and it’s a real privilege for us as staff to come together and enjoy being part of it.
Huge credit must go to our our Director Mrs Stennett, Costumes & Set Design Miss Heap, Chorographer Mrs Morgan and Music by Mrs Porrett who all play an instrumental part plus all our staff members who help at rehearsals, back stage, face-painting and at the evening performances.

Exploring Yayoi Kusama’s Art with Year 4: A Creative Journey
Yr 4 Residential to PGL!
We had an amazing overnight stay at PGL at Boreatton Park! We spent an action-packed two days abseiling, trapeze jumping, swinging from a giant structure, problem solving and scooting, as well as enjoying team-building and singing songs around the campfire. Year 4 showed incredible bravery in facing their fears, determination in completing challenges, resilience in coping with being away from home and unwavering support of their peers. They were a credit to themselves and our school. You can watch their best memories here:

Celebrating Success: Attingham Park Cross-Country Runners Shine! In an exhilarating cross-country event at Attingham Park, children faced challenging terrain with boggy ground, brambles, and inclines. Despite these obstacles, their determination prevailed. Remarkable achievements were seen across the board, with Year 4 girls clinching 1st place, Year 3, 5, and 6 girls, and Year 3 and 4 boys securing 2nd place, Year 5 boys claiming 4th, and Year 6 boys securing 5th. Congratulations to all participants for their outstanding efforts, resilience, and teamwork!
