Dear Families, 

Welcome back - It has been wonderful to see the children happy, settled and 

eager to get on with their learning. I have also enjoyed being able to catch up 

with many of you at the gate and look forward to getting to know you more 

over the coming weeks. 

As I mentioned in my email last week, I am writing with more information 

about our exciting term ahead! 

Curriculum Overview 

Our whole school theme for our learning this term is ‘Self’, looking at what 

makes us unique and special, developing our own character and the impact 

that we can have on our own lives and the lives of others. 

You will be able to read more about the curriculum coverage on the 

Courageous Curriculum for your child’s class on Seesaw 

Tremendous Thursdays 

We will be further developing our community links between the two schools, 

through our Tremendous Thursdays where we will be bringing all of the 

children from Dolton over to join the children at the Clinton school site, on the 

minibus for the day and return them back to Dolton for the end of the day. 

This will be a wonderful opportunity for the children to work together on some 

joint projects and further develop their character across all four cornerstones. 

Mr Liam Dart will also be joining us on this day and the children will all have 

their weekly PE lessons on this day, so they will need to bring in their PE kit 

on a Thursday. Kingfishers and Tigers will have their PE session in the 

morning. Lions and Swallows will have their PE session in the afternoon.

Mr Dart will also be running a club before and after school at the Clinton school, on a Thursday. Children from both schools are welcome to attend. Please let the school office know if your child wishes to attend either of these. 

Uniform 

The children all looked super smart in their uniforms today! 

If you have any outgrown uniform you would like to donate we run a ‘swap shop’, or if you don’t require a swap we would be very grateful to add it to our spare stock. 

Clubs 

In order to provide extra-curricular clubs, we rely on staff and volunteers to give up their time. With thanks to our lovely staff, we are currently in the position to offer the following clubs for the children to attend: 

If your child would like to sign up for any of the clubs, please email the school office to book your child’s/children's place. 

We would very much welcome any volunteers from the community that would like to run a club or share some expertise, so if you or someone you know has an interest or skill that would engage and benefit the children, please do get in touch. Either catch me on the gate, email or call the school office. 

I am thrilled to be working with you all in providing your children with an excellent education that will enable them to flourish as individuals and become inspiring change makers. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Very best wishes, 

Mrs Drew
