Dear parents and carers,
Welcome back to the second half of the Autumn Term! We’ve had a good first week back and have gotten straight into things, hitting the ground running. Hopefully you have all had a positive parents’ and carers’ evening appointment this week: it’s always nice to see everyone in and around the school on these evenings to chat about how your children are getting on. If you were unable to attend, or were unable to make an appointment, please do get in touch. Teachers will be contacting those who were not able to make appointments this week to make sure you don’t go without.
A huge well done must go to Mrs Porrett for all she does with music here at Coleham: it is such an important part of our curriculum, and her efforts have been recognised by being one of the very few schools to receive the ‘Music Mark’ for 2023-24, showing Coleham’s dedication and commitment to high-quality music education. Well done, Mrs P!
We’ve also had our School Council busy selling poppies to raise money for this year’s poppy appeal. Thank you to those children who have put in their time to raise money for such an important cause.
Finally, we have been asked again by our neighbours about considerate parking outside the school. Please make sure that Salter’s Lane is not blocked by improper parking, and especially not blocking residents’ driveways and/or access on Thursdays as it is their bin collection day. Please make use of the parking scheme available at St Julian’s Friars.
Have a lovely weekend!
Tom Larkham
Headteacher
