Last week, we were sad to say goodbye to Miss Lowry, our Reception teacher. Miss Lowry had taught at Scholes (Elmet) Primary (one of our Sphere Federation partner schools) for many years, and was covering for Mrs Wood. But the goodbye was alongside a big hello to Mrs Wood (teaching Monday to Thursday) and Mrs Brown (teaching Friday). 

Did you see the Year 3,4 production? We were so impressed by the singing and solo performances!  Every child put so much effort into it. Well done to all.

Easter events

Last week, we mentioned this guide from Child Friendly Leeds to help children and families in Leeds navigate their way through the Easter holidays. You might also want to check out another guide from Active Leeds – anyone up for some paddlesports?!

National Youth Strategy

The government is creating a new ten-year National Youth Strategy to tackle the challenges for this generation of young people and to ensure every young person can thrive. The strategy aims to bring power back to young people and their communities to improve youth focused services.

Rhe government wants to hear the views of children and young people aged 10 to 21 (and up to age 25 with special educational needs or disabilities).

Encourage your child to complete the survey to share with the government what they think on a range of themes.

If they don’t have time to complete the survey, then encourage them to share their quick thoughts with the government on what could be improved.
