This week, we have been delighted to welcome Mrs Screaton to our Office Team. Many of you may have already had the pleasure of interacting with her and we hope you'll continue to make her feel welcome as she settles into her new role at Temple Meadow.

A huge thank you to those families who joined us for the Year 1 Reggae performance! The children were absolutely adorable, and it’s hard to believe how quickly they are growing up.

Thanks to your generous support, we raised over £250 for Comic Relief some truly amazing charities. Well done to the entire Temple Meadow community!

For those families celebrating Eid, I hope you’ve enjoyed the festivities earlier this week.

As we move into our final week of this 7-week half-term, I would like to remind you of a few upcoming events. Next week, we look forward to welcoming four Year 10 students from Ormiston Forge Academy, who will be completing a week of work experience with us across the school. We are proud to support these young adults as they prepare for the world of work and encourage them on their journey in education.

Our Year 4 Lion King performance for families is on Monday 7th April at 2:30 pm. We would love for you to join us to see the children’s wonderful performance.

In addition, following the persistence of our Head Girls, we have successfully arranged for a visit from Councillor Allcock, who will be talking to us about how we can deter local residents from leaving dog mess around our school grounds—watch this space!

Year 2 will be sharing their rock performance on Wednesday at 9:00am and we look forward to seeing you there.

Our Hub team will be hosting a Stay and Play session on Wednesday 9th April at 9:00am. Families invited will have received separate communication from Mrs. Bayley.

Our Nursery will also be hosting a Stay and Play session on Thursday, 10th April, at 9:00 am, with a second session at 2:15 pm.

Year 5 will be performing their Hip Hop routine to families at 2:30 pm on Thursday. It promises to be a fun event!

Thursday is also the day for children to bring in their Easter Egg decorating competition entries. The winners will be announced in our final assembly next Friday.

Break The Uniform Rules Day

Don’t forget, next Wednesday is Break the Uniform Rules Day! We encourage children to wear their pyjamas, fancy dress, their own clothes, or trainers, and even wear their hair down if they choose. Please remember to bring along £1 to support our fundraising efforts to bring Huggle Pets to our school next academic year.

Values Assembly

Our assembly next Friday will be extra special, as we will present our first-ever Values Award for this term, linked to the value of Discover. We will be joined by some of our Governors, who will help us award one "Discover" award to a child in each class, chosen by their teacher. We look forward to celebrating these children with you next week.

A Special Birthday!

You may remember that last year, Rose, Luke, and Bruce’s Nan, Irene Prosser, took part in our History of the School project, sharing fond memories of her time at Temple Meadow in the 1930s. She was later featured in our school newsletter, which she absolutely loved—proudly showing it to everyone who visited her.

This week, on 1st April, Irene celebrated an incredible milestone as she turned 100 years old!

She was absolutely thrilled to receive a special Birthday card from King Charles, which she is pictured here holding proudly.

I’m sure you’ll all join us in sending warmest wishes and a very happy 100th Birthday to Irene.

Rose, Luke, and Bruce are all incredibly proud—and so are we.
