Dear parents/carers,
We have reached the end of a very busy but positive week! I am hoping that Friday the 13th is going to be kind to me in my first week as Head Teacher…
I am both hugely proud and immensely excited to lead this fantastic school, whilst working with you the parents. To mark this new start, I am organising a meeting for parents to attend and meet both myself and my senior leadership team.
This will be an opportunity to learn a little more about your new head teacher, my plans for the school and chat with the senior leaders.
We are offering two sessions:
Friday 20th January @ 9am
or
Thursday 26th January @ 5pm
Please let us know you will be attending by completing the following form:
Have a lovely weekend and thank you for your support

Once again Y6 have completed their annual ‘reverse advent calendar’ and collected many items for the charity STARCH with works with asylum seekers and refugees within South Tyneside.
Margaret Gregg, who has worked for the charity for 17 years, visited school to receive the donations and to talk to the children about the work that they do. She told the children about how they are supporting Ukrainian families at this time.
They will always greatly receive any donations of household items, clothes and toys and are based at Living Waters Church, Alice Street, Laygate South Shields, NE33 5PB.
Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6)
Pupils in the above year groups are welcome to bring toys in for the last day of term but please don’t bring anything that can take photos, record videos or connect with other devices and/or the internet. We would welcome toys which encourage children to play with each other please such as board games.
Please can all toys be labelled with your child’s name and come to school in an appropriate bag. We can not take responsibility for any lost or damaged toys.
Early Years and Key Stage 1 (Nursery to Year 2)
No toys please, children will be playing with the provision we have in school and we have a many fun activities planned.
To celebrate the World Cup, the children were invited to do some research about a country that was taking part. The children have produced some fabulous posters and PowerPoint presentations which are displayed along the corridor in school.
Some children were then chosen to attend an International Party where they sampled different foods from around the world. German pretzels, polish sausage and wasabi peas from Japan were some of the favourites. Not forgetting the escargot (snails) from France. An excellent time was had by all!
Key Stage 2 pupils received a festive treat this morning when actors visited the school and performed “Sleeping Beauty”. Lots of audience participation and giggles throughout; the audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
