From the Headteacher

Star Work: Congratulations to the children whose work is on display in pride of place in the main corridor: Tiegan Mathot-Sankey, Hazel Papadopoulos, Ellie Pitman, Mason Young, George Matthew, Rowena Marshall, Robert Edwards and Alice Meen.

Mrs Schantz: Congratulations also to our French teacher, who has been awarded her MA with distinction after many hours of burning the midnight oil. Mrs Schantz studied the impact of teaching a foreign language to children in primary schools; a subject very close to our hearts at St. Aldhelm’s.

Contact Telephone Numbers: Our heating system for the main building failed this week due to a faulty gauge on the oil tanks. A letter explaining the situation was sent out yesterday and will shortly be placed on the website. It did highlight the importance of the school office holding up to date contact information. Home telephone numbers rarely change but mobile numbers often do. If you should change mobiles please let us know at the office. In the event we were able to send home the majority of children from the main building and ensure all others were educated safely in warm rooms.

Mathematics Problem Solving Day: We are holding a special learning day next Thursday when the children will be using their mathematical skills in a variety of ways to solve problems. I hope this is enjoyable and rewarding for our pupils and that it shows how useful mathematics can be.

Registration: If your child arrives in school after registration, for any reason, would you kindly make sure you bring them to the office in order that they can be marked present.
