Just a quick update to let you know that the children are having a wonderful time at their residential and are throwing themselves enthusiastically into all of the activities!  Everyone is eating well and despite a few rainy spells the children are clean, dry and full of smiles.

Although the signal has been very limited, the staff have still managed over the last 2 days to upload 260 photos to the blog . More activities today so watch out for these fun photos later- fingers crossed for a good signal. The staff back at school have loved seeing the children enjoying themselves so much and we hope the Y6 families are enjoying the updates too. 

We would be very grateful for any contributions towards our two current projects – the new Jubilee entrance and the playground canopy. Completing these improvements will make a real difference to our school environment for all the families. We have so far received 9 donations on Parent Pay  from the school community - thank you so much for these contributions. Every donation, no matter the size, is helping us move closer to our goal.

If everyone at Frithwood was able to contribute:

• £3 we would raise over £1,100
• £5 we would raise nearly £2,000
• £10 we would raise over £3,700

We fully appreciate that any donation is given at a time of increasing financial pressure and even small contributions can add up to something significant for our school community. This includes the sharing of ideas and suggestions along with future plans for fund raising too. 

Please give generously for our school so that we can continue to provide a great education for the children and offer back to the community too. We would love to be able to offer the Jubilee Building to local groups, evening activities and for your children’s parties and events at a competitive rate. 

Parents and carers have been invited by the DfE to an online event about screen use .

The consultation seeks views on issues like minimum age for social media, addictive features such as autoplay and infinite scroll, AI chatbots, mobile phones in schools, and better support for parents and carers, including clearer guidance and simpler parental controls.

If this is a consultation you would like to take part in, you can book here:
