We really do value your feedback, so please fill in our school survey. 

Tell us what works well here and what we could do to improve.

Thank you.

Take a look at the Summer After School Clubs.

If there are any changes to clubs, we will notify you as soon as possible via a sch life message.

Forest School Calendar and Kit List

Only a few sessions left of Forest School this term.

Please pay close attention to the required items.  Even when it is hot, children still need to have long sleeves and trousers.

Our Forest School Practitioner, Mr Barnett, carries out a risk assessment before every session - this includes risk assessing the weather conditions.  

These sessions are part of the school day, so please assume that each session will take place.  If for any reason we need to cancel the session, due to weather or staffing for example, we will inform you via sch life.

The appropriate clothing needed for these sessions needs to be long - long bottoms and long t-shirts, to cover skin - to avoid cuts, bites and grazes.  In the heat these can be lightweight items.

With the recent heatwave, one of the coolest places in school, is the shaded forest area.

Only 2 weeks to go to earn the SAFE badge.

Children will be trying to earn 10 SAFE points in a number of ways.

These include - 

• Tuck in chairs and sit on chair properly.
• Sit still and calmly when eating lunch- do not move around with food in your mouth.
• Eat toast and drink milkshakes in a safe space- sitting down outside.
• Carry scissors the safe way.
• Use all equipment in the way you have been shown
• Make sure you remain in sight of an adult outside at all times.
• Report any spillages/hazards that you see in school.
• Play games safely and always tidy equipment away.
• Follow instructions when playing on any equipment.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Wear sunscreen or a cap on sunny days.
• On school trips, follow all the safety rules given to you by the adults.
• Walk sensibly around the school building.
• If you see a visitor/stranger who is not wearing a lanyard, tell an adult.

Stay SAFE in the heat.

Please remember to send a water bottle and a cap into school for your child during these hot sunny days.  

Please apply sun cream before they come to school.

We will always remind children to find shady places when outside and we will make alternative arrangements for break, lunch and blast time, when the heat is too much.

Last weekend, Archie, in Year 3, met the one and only Lydia Monks at an event called Booknic.  This event celebrated books, reading, writing and illustrating. There were authors and illustrators at the event. Children could attend with a picnic and swap books, choose new ones for free, learn languages, play instruments, skateboard, listen to stories and all sorts of fun things. 

Lydia Monks is a fantastic illustrator - you might know her from her illustrations in the book series 'What the Ladybird Heard...'  Lydia even drew some special illustrations in Archie's book. 

Thank you Archie for sharing this with us.  Amazing!

We have a budding gardener in our Crestwood Park family.

Lily, in Year 6, has been working hard all year round with her Dad, to grow a range of plants. Take a look at the photos - they really are fantastic! Well done Lily. 

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for fundraising for Up and Downs on World Down Syndrome Day. Your generosity will directly support our upcoming group activities over the next few months, including Forest School sessions, bowling, visits from the Animal Man, Singing Hands, and many more exciting events still to be planned!
It’s truly wonderful to see our children’s communities coming together, getting involved, and helping raise awareness. Your support makes a real difference.

Many Thanks

Diane and Jemma ( Trustees)
All the families at Up and Downs

Here's to many more moments of fun and togetherness! 

What's Going on in our Community

As a school we are a recipient of Bikeability from Dudley Council.

The cycle training team have been shortlisted in the Large Organisation and Lifetime Achievement Award Categories of the 2025 Bikeability Awards (The former being the whole team and the latter, one of our Instructors Kevin Payton)

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is the responsibility of everyone in our school and at all times we consider what is in our children's best interests. We work to ensure our children are safe and cared for and by doing this we are protecting their health and development and preventing them from harm.  If we are worried, we will raise concerns, share information and take prompt action with the aim of ensuring families receive the right help at the right time.
