Weekly Bulletin 19th September 2025
Headteacher’s Message
We have enjoyed a busy week in school and term is well under way. This week children in Year 6 delivered presentations for election to this year’s School Council positions of Secretary and Chairperson. This was a great opportunity to discuss one of our core British Values of Democracy and what that means for our society. The School Council representatives are elected by their classmates and comprises of two pupils from every class, from Reception to Year 6. We commend all who stood for election and for their enthusiasm in contributing to school life. This is one of the many ways in which the pupils are able to exercise leadership and responsibility within school. Voting has taken place and the results of chair and secretary are shared below.
We look forward to celebrating Harvest on Thursday 25th September at St Mary’s Church in Shincliffe Village. This harvest we are collecting food items for ‘Durham Foodbank.’ We hope that you and your child/children would like to help support our 2025 Harvest Appeal in liaison with Durham Christian Partnership and I draw your attention to the information below regarding our collection for the Durham Foodbank. If you wish to contribute, please send donations of non-perishable food (see list below) the week beginning Monday 22nd September with your child and this will be collected from their class.
Each week I want to include a ‘snapshot’ of some of the things that the children are doing in school. For example, news from our ECO team, Worship group, V.I.P. (Very International People) and SNAG (School Nutrition Action Group). This week our focus is on the work of our School Council and an update is shared below.
Best wishes
Mr Rumbles
