Message from Headteacher
Dear Parents and Carers,
What a wonderful few weeks we have had, enjoying the sunny weather and engaging in our exciting learning projects. It has been lovely to see so many children bringing in their optional project homework. A reminder that classroom exhibitions will take place next Tuesday and Wednesday.
This week, our Year 6 children completed their SATs (government assessments in grammar, spelling, reading and writing), and how brilliantly the children rose to the challenge. We are incredibly proud of every one of them. They have certainly earned a well-deserved rest, along with the Year 6 staff team.
The sponsored bounce will take place next Wednesday, 20th May. This fundraising event will help us purchase more books—particularly non-fiction—for the school library. Children brought sponsor forms home earlier this week; these should be returned to school on Wednesday morning, ready for the event. If children are unable to secure sponsors, they are still very welcome to take part with a £3 donation, payable via Scopay or the school office.
Last month, I shared news of a Parent Governor vacancy, which has now been filled by Mrs Heather Spryakis, a Year 3 parent. Thank you to Heather for standing unopposed, we warmly welcome her to the team.
We also have Sports Days taking place next week, weather permitting:
- Reception: Thursday afternoon, 2.00–3.00pm
- Years 1–6: Friday afternoon, 1.00–3.15pm
There will be toddler and parent races during the Friday event. Children will receive an ice lolly afterwards, and extras will be available for families to purchase for 50p each. Families are welcome to come and enjoy this event.
Our new school video has been added to the website. It is a lovely showcase of who we are and all that we do. The Year 6 children do a fantastic job of sharing their roles, and it is wonderful to see children throughout the nursery classes and school smiling throughout—enjoy! https://www.ash-grange.surrey.sch.uk/
We have now finalised our INSET days and Open Days for the next school year to give you plenty of advance notice; details are below.
Kind regards,
Mrs Curtis
This is now my third school year as a parent governor and my first as Vice Chair. I currently have 3 children attending Ash Grange from nursery 2 to Year 6! I really enjoy being a part of the wonderful Ash Grange community and playing a small part in helping all Ash Grange children reach their full potential.
