Dear Parents and Carers

Here is the link to our February Newsletter which I have recorded as a YouTube video: February 2026 Newsletter Please take five minutes to watch so that you are up to date with the key things happening in our school.

In the newsletter, I make a plee for our families to recycle their eWaste at Currys. If you have any broken or unused electricals please take them into Currys and then register that you have done so on this website:  https://www.hiddentreasurehunt.org/ they will then email you so that you can verify your email address. We are currently top of the leaderboard with 15 points and we would really like to be top in June so that we can win the top prize of £10 000 of tech vouchers for the school.

The other topics discussed are:

• Care when parking
  • Please respect the local residents
• Parents picking up on time
  • Including after a club as our office staff finish at 4pm
• Following our appearance on Newsround… please take any eWaste recycling to Currys. Log it on the website and verify your email.
• Mrs Johnson has had her baby!  We are absolutely thrilled for her and her husband as they welcome their baby girl.
• Huge congratulations to our Yr 5/6 girls football team who are Sussex county winners of the 7-a-side Pokemon Cup winners
• The Yr 5/6 boys football team beat Jessie Younghusband last week too.
• Don’t forget our website has so much information about the school from term dates and uniform information to Photo galleries and news items. Instagram is full of our up to date news too.
• Parent/carer consultations 24^th Feb and 5^th March. You will be given your child’s mid-year report here.
