Headteacher Message
Dear Parents & Carers,
Welcome to another Friday end-of-the-week newsletter! Every day seems to be Friday: they are coming around so quickly!
It’s been another busy week with lots to read about this week – EYFS and Year 1 have been out and about on trips; Year 2 unfortunately missed out on their trip this week, but will hopefully be going soon, and we also had Rev Fi in for our Harvest assembly on Monday. I was incredibly proud of everyone who donated so much food for our foodbank donation. It’s so valuable for our children to understand charity and that there are always folk less fortunate than ourselves. Thank you for your donations!
This week we had David O’Toole and Claire Jones, our Trust CEO and Deputy CEO, visiting the school. They were very impressed with everything they saw: they looked at lessons, books, home time arrangements and talked to several staff members about their roles. It’s good to have input from our Trust Leadership and to be reassured that everything is going well: they commented on the positive feel of the school from both staff, children and parents; the positive relationships throughout and high attendance rates. Thanks everyone!
Have a lovely weekend!
Tom Larkham

Year 1 explore the local area
Today we had a super walk around Shrewsbury. We tried to find as many of the local features we have been studying as possible. We visited the Quarry and the Dingle. We also saw St Chads Church, the market hall, the library and the castle. We also spotted that the river was a little high after all the rain.
The children were fantastic and represented Coleham superbly along the way. Well done Squirrels and Hedgehogs.
Fire Service Visit
Year 3 had a fantastic visit from Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service this week learning all about Fire Safety and the job of a Fire Fighter.
Supporting our Food bank
Some of our School Councillors helped to take your generous donations to Shrewsbury Food Bank at Barnabas Community Church today. Thank you so much!
