• A Message from the PTA - Easter Raffle

  Mon 22 Apr 2024

  The PTA would like to say a huge thank you to parents and carers for supporting our Easter Raffle, whether it was purchasing tickets or generously donating prizes. 

  We had an assembly full of excited children who cheered on all the prize winners…it was very noisy but lovely to be a part of.

  We raised an amazing £225.11!

  Thanks once again

• World Book Day

  Fri 23 Feb 2024

  It is World Book Day time again and we can’t wait to celebrate! This year, we invite the children to dress up as their favourite book character. We welcome all costumes, big or small.

   

  If possible, please also allow your child to bring a copy of their chosen book in so that it can be shared during the school day.

   

  Additionally, on the morning of Thursday 7th March, every classroom will be open from 8:35-9:00am for parents and carers to read with their child. Please access your child’s classroom from their usual entrance door and exit the same way.

   

  Finally, your child will come home with their own World Book Day title, as well as a £1 voucher that will allow them to buy another World Book Day book from supermarkets and bookshops (or to enjoy a £1 discount on a full-price book). You can check out the books on offer here:

  https://www.worldbookday.com/books-and-tokens/books/

   

  The World Book Day website also has loads of ideas for how your family can celebrate all things reading at home:

  We can’t wait to see your fabulous costumes!

   

  (Please note that due to the coal mining trip, Y2AB will be celebrating on Friday 8th March. Costumes may be worn and Y2AB will be open for parent/carer reading that morning.)

• Eco Café

  Fri 24 Nov 2023

  Message from Mrs McGrath

  I would like to say a huge WELL DONE and THANK YOU to our Athelstan Eco Warriors for planning and running the Eco Cafe during Parents’ Evening last week. The children did an amazing job of planning what to sell and then gave up their own free time to come and help run it with me. What a group of absolute superstars!         

  I would also like to say a big THANK YOU to all the parents and carers that came and supported the cafe. Your encouragement on the night enabled the Eco Warriors to feel confident and independent - skills they will carry with them and continue to develop as they grow into wonderful, caring adults.

  We managed to raise a fantastic £150 for the Rainforest Alliance. Thank you!

• Parental Views

  Fri 15 Sep 2023

  I hope your child is settling into their new class well. It's been so nice to get to know both the school and the children during the last week. On my first day with the staff, we did a little exercise so I could gather views of the staff. I'd now like to ask you the same questions to also gather your views, which will help with our school improvement planning.
