Welcome to

Crestwood Park Primary School

Be the best you can be

Welcome to our Newsletter

It has been SAT’s week in school and the year 6 children have worked so hard and shown determination and perseverance throughout. We are very proud of them. I also want to thank the staff who were involved. We could not hold SAT’s breakfast club and administer the SAT’s so effectively without the help of the wonderful team of staff at Crestwood Park.

Year 5 assembly took place this morning and the class shared a wealth of knowledge about The Black Country. As part of their Local Area Study, year 5 focus on coal mining and it was clear that they have learned a great deal about what this entailed. They all looked great in their costumes and their version of Dolly Parton’s 9 till 5 reminded us of just how hard working conditions were for children working in the mines years ago.

We have just one week left of this half term, so next Friday will be our Achiever’s Assembly. All parents are welcome to attend.

Happy Birthday to you...

 

We would like to say a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to... Harvey, Jamie, Evelyn, Alisha, Ivie-Leigh, Kayden, Riley who have celebrated their birthday this week or will be celebrating over the weekend!

Lateness

At Crestwood Park we expect children to arrive at school between 8.40 and 8:50am. By 8:50am all children should be in their classes and the classroom doors will be closed. If Children arrive between 8.50 and 9.00am they will be let in through the classroom doors, after this they will need to go through the main office.

If children arrive between 8:50 and 9:10am they will be marked as 'L' on the register for authorised lateness. If they arrive late after 9:10am, they will be marked as a ‘U’ for unauthorised late. Late children will also have to catch up and complete the morning registration task at the start of lunchtime.

If a child reaches 5 'Lates' during a school year, we will not authorise anymore and further lateness will be classed as unauthorised absence for a whole morning.

At this point, parents will be contacted, in order to discuss actions/support needed to resolve lateness.

A Message from our Pastoral Team

The weeks are going by so quickly and it has been so nice to enjoy some sunshine recently.  We hope you are all well?
 
This week is Mental Health Awareness week and as a school we make everyone's mental and physical wellbeing a priority. 
 
We would like to share this short video clip with you on the benefits of laughter. Laughing reduces the stress chemicals in our brain, fills our lungs with air and increases oxygen throughout our bodies. Laughing increases our immune system, improves our mood, reduces anxiety and depression.  Studies have shown it helps us to live longer and tackle serious illness. It reduces pain and helps us to make connections with others.
Please take a few minutes to watch the video clip on the benefits of laughter.

We hope you have an amazing weekend full of joy and laughter.  Take care, lots of love The Pastoral Team xxx

Finally...

It really feels like summer is on its way and so I hope the sun continues to shine for you all this weekend! It really does help us all to feel better!

My quote this week reiterates just that…

“Oh sunshine! The most precious gold to be found on earth!”

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.
