Headteacher Message
Another end to the week means that the end of term is fast approaching! We have had another busy week of sport, with the year 6 girls doing brilliantly in their football competition, and preparation for sports days which are coming up in the week of the 26th
Next week, I won’t be in school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as I will be taking part in the 3-18 Education Trust’s ‘Head Swap’. This is a great opportunity for the Trust’s Headteachers to learn what they can from practice in other schools in the Trust, and I will be spending those three days at Much Wenlock Primary School. Replacing me here at Coleham will be Ms Lovecy, who is the Headteacher of St Martin’s School near Oswestry. She is very keen to learn about our school community, so please do say hello if you spot her on the playground in the mornings! Whilst I am in Much Wenlock, Ms Jones will still be here at Coleham.
Also – don’t forget to get you quiz teams booked in for Friday night!
Have a lovely weekend and stay cool in the heat!
Mr Larkham

Forest School Outing EYFS children have been visiting the incredible ‘Inside Out’ Learning Forest School setting in Belle Vue woodland at the Hermitage Centre. The children and staff have thoroughly enjoyed this time and all the expertise shared by Founder Franky.
Girls Football Festival Today a group of year 6 students went to The Grange Primary school for a football festival. They played really well but unfortunately missed out on the semi finals by placing 4th in their group. It was a tough set of matches and their spirts spirits were high. The attitudes of these students represented our school values perfectly.
Well done!
Cricket tournament for year 5 & year 6 A group of year 5 and 6 students took part in a cricket tournament organised by Embrace. It was a close competition and the students made the school proud and placed 4th overall.
Well done!
Year 3 visit to Liverpool Museum Year 3 had a fantastic time exploring the World Museum in Liverpool. They journeyed along the Nile and through the Ancient Egyptian display, where they explored various aspects of life in ancient Egypt and even saw some real Egyptian mummies! In their workshop, they were able to study and handle genuine artefacts. They also took the opportunity to visit the Walker Gallery just around the corner, where they viewed a wide range of art from classical to modern.
