As Children’s Commissioner, I am writing because I have not yet heard from any children or young people at your school as part of my national survey, The Big Future.

I am asking for your support in ensuring children and young people from your school take part here: http://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigfuture.

It is crucial that I hear from children in every school and college, in every community, across the country. Without hearing from your students, their experiences, views and aspirations risk being missing from the national picture that will help shape future policy.

At a time of significant change for children and young people, it is more important than ever that their views are reflected in policy making. Through this survey, I can take the voices of your students directly to the centre of government.

This week, our star of the week awards go to the following children:

Panda Class – Amber

Tiger Class – Willis and Albert

Rhino Class – Tabitha and Tessa

Jaguar Class – Grace and William

Congratulations all.

Just a quick reminder that class photographs will be taken on Thursday 4th June.

Just a reminder that it is Shropshire Sings at The West Mid Show Ground next Wednesday 10th June 2026.

We will be leaving school at 3.40pm, ready to attend the rehearsal at 4.00pm.  Children will have a tea break at 5.15pm before a concert for parents at 6.30pm.  We will look after the children in school prior to the coach picking us up at 3:40pm, please ensure your child has a small snack to eat during this this time.

Children will need to take a packed tea and plenty of water. Please bring everything in disposable bags to keep baggage to a minimum. School uniform should be worn.

All children who have returned a permission slip have been allocated a space. Please make a payment of £5.00 towards cost of the transport to The West Mid Show Ground on school gateway.

The concert is open to all members of the public.  We have been advised that there will be no tickets available on the gate at all as they are unable to take cash payments and there is no Wi-Fi signal for the card machine. The only way to attend the event is by purchasing tickets in advance. Tickets can be purchased in advance using the following link:

Your child will need to be collected from The West Mid Show Ground  at 7.30pm.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Thank you.

We would like to wish all of our children, families and staff a very happy and restful half term break.

With some glorious weather forecast, we hope everyone has the chance to enjoy time outdoors, relax and recharge.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the break on Monday 1st June.

Have a lovely half term!
