Dear Parents/Carers,
Dear Parents and Carers,
I wanted to make you aware that Mrs Pearce, our Executive Head Teacher is currently recovering from a recent operation and will be away from school for a while. We all send her our very best wishes for a smooth, speedy recovery. During her absence the school continues to run as normal. Thank you for your continued support and please join us in wishing her well as she rests and recovers.
This term we say a heartfelt thank you and farewell to Mrs Barker from EYFS and Mrs Sanchez from Year 4, who have been a valued part of the Parsloes team! We wish them every success and happiness in their next chapter!
This afternoon, after weeks of teamwork, determination and effort, Seacole House have lifted the House Cup for this term. Well done and a special thank you to all our House Captains who have served their houses each week in assembly.

This week Year 2 completed their unit, London’s Burning by going on their school trip to London. We had a fantastic trip that reinforced all our learning this term. We visited some of London’s most popular landmarks including the Tower of London, the Monument and saw the River Thames. The behaviour of our pupils was commented on by members of the public as the happiest school children they had ever seen!
Today’s Christmas dinner was full of song, festive jumpers and plenty of excitement! Our pupils enjoyed a delicious meal together. A huge thank you to our wonderful staff who supported the children and our kitchen team for creating a wonderful meal.
What a fantastic concert to kick off the festive season this week. We had a packed hall full of our families who had come to see their talented children. Well done to our brilliant children who shone on stage with confidence, joy and musical talent.
Don’t forget our nativity concerts are next week!
Please book your ticket via Parent mail and enter via the black gates at the start times above. Dress rehearsals have started this week and the children cannot wait to share their hard work with their families!
Thank you to everyone who came along last week to look at their child’s work. Working with families is very important to us at Parsloes. Our next session will be on Friday 13th February so please do save the date!
