Have a great half term. We welcome the children back to school on Monday 6th June.

Have a lovely week.

Swearing on the Playground

It has been brought to my attention that some parents are swearing on the playground when dropping off or collecting their children. I would respectfully ask parents to not swear or use offensive language on school grounds. We are role models for our children and we need to set the example. Thank you for your support in this matter.

Governor Vacancy

We are looking for a new governor for September.

Can you spare a couple of hours every half term?

Are you interested in becoming a critical friend for the school leadership team?

Would you like to be actively involved in the next stage of Winshill Village’s improvement journey?

If the answer is yes to the above questions, and you are interested in becoming a school governor, please send me an email expressing your interest to: win-headteacher@win.jtmat.co.uk by Monday 6th June.

If you have any questions about the role, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Year 1 and 2 Trip to Kenilworth Castle

As part of the Year 1 and Year 2 History topic this term, we will be visiting Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire

The children will be taking part in a self-led tour which will include visiting different parts of the castle and grounds, as well as completing activities in a booklet. This links with our topic on Knights and Castles and the children will be encouraged to identify the different features of the castle.

The trip will take place during the school day and they will require a packed lunch.

The children will need to wear a school t-shirt with a school cardigan or jumper, dark coloured jogging bottoms or leggings (no shorts or jeans) and trainers. They will also need a waterproof jacket as we will be outside all day.

The date of the trip is: Friday 24th June

The cost of the trip is £10.

A copy of the original letter can be found here.

There are still a few families who are persistently absent or late and this impacts our overall figures.
