We speak to the children regularly about road safety and keeping safe when crossing the road. You can help us to ensure children have a happy and safe journey into school each morning by considering one of the following:
🟠Walking wherever possible
🟡Not only is this a healthy way to get some exercise, but it supports the local community with congestion. In addition, it is much better for the environment.
🟢Cycling or scooting: We have plenty of spaces to lock a bicycle or scooter inside the school gates. We have a new scooter store arriving in the coming weeks for the Spinney entrance. Watch this space!
🔵Parking responsibly in and around the streets and when using the Locking Parish Carpark (top carpark). Please do not park on pavements. Children and families walking into school are being put at risk.
Our only concern is to create a safer environment for our children as they arrive at and leave school. We will be working with our local PCSO’s to support us with this in the coming weeks.

This week we are very excited as 4 members of the class, who have been consistently following our school expectations, will be bringing home one of our class teddies for a weekend sleepover, as a treat for being a role model for that particular expectation.
Please say a big hello to Roger Ready, Sally Safe, Rebecca Resilient and Rory Respectful! They have been sat pride of place in the classroom, watching the children and helping us to learn and play together. Please don't worry parents and carers, all children in the class will get to take a teddy home across the year.
The children and class teachers have had lots of discussions in preparation for this, about the importance of being resilient if it isn't their turn just yet! Let the sleepovers begin!

Buddy is a trained therapy dog who visits our school every Wednesday. He lives with Mrs Rundle who very kindly loans him to us 😃
Buddy brings SUCH joy to our school community every week 🥰The children just love to see him, play with him, walk him and even read to him.
We will introduce Buddy to our Reception classes over this week and next but he is normally on a gate too at the beginning and the end of the day so do say hi 👋
