Thank you
Punctuality
Please be reminded that the school day starts at 8:55am prompt and the gate will then be closed.
Any latecomers will need to enter the school via the main office and a parent will need to sign them in, recording the reason for their lateness.
Arriving at school on time makes such a difference to the children’s day and also ensures that they make the most of their learning time.
Hackney Half Marathon
Oh how time flies! 3 weeks in and despite some sore and tired legs, half marathon is going extremely well! Both runners are building up the miles and ensuring they look after themselves in between runs.
They are running in aid of their chosen charities Mind (Miss Gedney) Cancer Research UK (Mr Watson.)
Thank you all for your donations so far, they are greatly appreciated! If you would like to make a donation, this has been assigned to your child’s ParentPay account. Please note that any donation will be split between the two charities.
Hackney RE Calendar Competition
The Hackney RE calendar competition has commenced for 2024-25. Last year, over 100 entries were submitted, thank you to all children who participated.
The calendar is sent to every school in Hackney and is a celebration of RE teaching and learning in our schools. It also includes important dates of upcoming religious festivals and secular commemorations. These help schools to plan assemblies and collective worship. It also aims to support pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development beyond the Religious Education classroom.
All the artwork is selected through a borough-wide poster competition, which is open to all pupils across KS1 and KS3 in Hackney schools.
This year’s Religion and Worldview theme is on ‘Unity’. This theme aims to celebrate diversity and unity within the Hackney community. It also supports Hackney’s ‘No place for hate’ campaign.
Entries:
Please note ALL entries (originals only should:
- Be on A4 landscape, preferably on coloured paper
- Use strong/bold colours – i.e felt pens or paints, rather than pale pencils
- Be clearly labelled with pupil’s names, school and year group (please put this information on the back)
- Preferably have no writing on the poster (labels, titles, names etc)
The closing date for this competition is Friday 26th April 2024 and all entries should be sent to:
