Dear Parents,
Post Covid we have seen a significant increase in the number of parents asking the school for help and advice for home-related issues with their child/ren, including challenging behaviour, difficulty sleeping, or general anxiety. Many of these issues are typical, normal behaviours where children challenge their parents and go through ’difficult’ patches. I’m sure most of you can remember causing an issue or two for your own parents.

Dear Parents,
Imagine the scene: your colleagues are all sat down listening to the person leading the meeting. They are deep in thought and conversation, and a check has already established that you are not present.  You have to enter the room, attempting to make the least interruption possible knowing that everybody is looking at you, while the leader notes your arrival and fills you in on what you’ve missed.

Dear Parents, During the month of March we are having a focus on internet safety. Internet safety is an ever-changing part of children’s lives now, and is something that many of us weren’t taught ourselves when we were school age. While it is part of our curriculum, and appears in the National Curriculum in both Computing and PSHE (Learning for Life at Kingslea), much of children’s free time on the internet happens at home.

Dear Parents/Carers,
On the last day of last term we had very two special events. In the afternoon we had our end of term assembly which included the Headteacher Awards. These are awards given to children who have excelled in sport, the arts, reading, writing, kindness or maths. Congratulations to all those children who received an award.

Dear Parents/Carers,  
This is the final newsletter of 2022, and of the Autumn Term. I’d just like to take a moment to thank parents for your support this term. For the children to make progress—and to be happy and successful at school—home and school have to work together.

Dear Parents/Carers,  
Thank you all for an excellent start to the term. So far it has been one of the smoothest and most positive starts to the year I can remember.

Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome back after the summer break and a very special welcome to all our new families, whether you are starting in Reception or in other year groups. As always, it has been a busy summer at Kingslea. For those of you who have been on-site, you will have seen that the well-being walk is complete and the outdoor area between the Year 4 and Year 5 classrooms has been resurfaced.

Dear Parents,
Thank you for your attendance at parents’ evening. We hope you found the additional summer meeting useful, and that it allowed you to discuss your child’s year and what was written on their report. As a school, we are very pleased with the progress the children have made this year. Where previously the resilience and independence of many pupils had been impacted by Covid and they had become reliant on support for tasks that previously were completed without an adult, there have recently been numerous conversations about the increased maturity of these pupils.

Dear Parents,
On Wednesday, children will be meeting their new class teachers as part of our transition process. This is the day when Year 6 visit their secondary schools and our new Reception children come for another visit. In the afternoon, all classes across the school will spend time with their new class teacher, in their new classroom.

Dear Parents,
I just wanted to start the newsletter off with thanking all of you for the support that you have given to your children and to the school so far this term; it makes such a huge difference to the feeling, the achievements and the success of every individual child and the school as a whole.
