We are looking forward to seeing our Year 6 children take to the stage one final time before they move on to the next chapter of their education.

We would like to invite Year 6 parents to please join us in watching the children perform School Daze which is a hilarious and heartwarming production that celebrates the memorable experiences of primary school life. From unique teachers and SATs to embarrassing mums and dads, awkward parents’ evenings, smelly classrooms and the excitement of spreading our wings, it captures all the moments we remember so fondly. Beneath the laughter lies a reminder that these may well be some of the best days of our lives.

Performances will last approximately 90 minutes and will take place on Wednesday 15^th July 2026

• Morning performance for 6W’s parents: Doors open at 9:05am for a 9:15am start.

• Afternoon performance for 6J’s parents: Doors open at 1:35pm for a 1:45pm start.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Thank you for your generous donations to our Penny Drive. £1542 is a fantastic achievement. A special well done to the year 2 classes.

A huge well done to all the children in Year 1 for their incredible hard work and dedication in learning their phonics sounds this year. We are so proud of the progress they have made and the success they have achieved.

Thank you also to all our parents and carers for your continued support throughout the year. Your encouragement and commitment at home have played a vital role in the children's achievements, and this support is clearly reflected in their success.

Pupil results will be shared with parents in their annual school reports.

Every year, Birmingham Libraries participate in the Reading Agency’s Summer Reading Challenge which encourages pupils to read six books over the summer holiday period.  Entering the challenge is simple:

• Go to one of the participating libraries mentioned below.
• Collect a “Read to the Beat” sticker booklet.
• Read any six books of your choosing.
• Collect rewards for meeting targets along the way by reviewing the books you have read.

In a couple of weeks’ time, a representative from Boldmere library will be coming into school to promote the event which begins on Saturday 4^th July and ends on Saturday 5^th September.  When the children return to school in September, we will be celebrating pupils who have achieved the challenge with a special assembly.

Participating local libraries and opening hours:

• Boldmere Library:                 Tues, Thurs and Sat, 9am-1pm and 2pm-5pm
• Mere Green Library:            Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sat – 9am-1pm and 2pm-5pm
• Walmley Library:                   Mon, Weds and Sat – 9am-1pm and 2pm-5pm

Reading regularly over the six-week summer holiday is highly beneficial to your child’s learning and development. It helps to maintain and strengthen the reading skills they have worked hard to develop throughout the school year, while also building fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and confidence. Even a short period of daily reading can make a significant difference, helping children return to school ready to learn and reducing the risk of losing progress over the long break. Most importantly, reading together can be an enjoyable way to foster a lifelong love of books and learning.

We are delighted to announce that children’s author B. Ware will be visiting the school on Tuesday 7th July.

Throughout the day, pupils will take part in assemblies and writing workshops inspired by her latest book, WARNING: Grandma’s Gone Bonkers, which is suitable for children of all ages.

Parents and carers who wish to purchase a copy of ‘WARNING: Grandma’s Gone Bonkers’, ‘WARNING: May Contain Dragons’, and/or ‘WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous!’ can do so via linktr.ee/bwareauthor. Books purchased in advance can be brought into school on the day to be signed by the author.

B. Ware will also be selling signed copies of her books on the playground at the end of the school day. Books will be available at the retail price of £8.99 each, with both cash and card payments accepted.

We look forward to welcoming B. Ware and sharing what promises to be an inspiring and enjoyable day with our pupils.

We have been invited to take a KS2 team to a chess tournament on 10^th July at Penn's Primary School. Children will have the opportunity to take part in chess at lunch times over the next few weeks and a team of 8 will be invited to the tournament. We have had lots of interest already and are delighted that so many children are eager to take part. Your child's class teacher will be letting them know when the lunchtime club will be running for their year group.

A reminder to all parents of pupils with SEND that attend one page profile reviews.

We will NOT be holding SEN reviews before we break up for the Summer as these are due to be held again in the Autumn term.  You will be invited to book an appointment when we return to school in September.

If you child is leaving us this year, all SEN information will have been shared with their new school before we break up for the Summer.
