A Message from OWPS

Dear Parents and Carers

What a busy, sweaty week! I think everyone has been relieved to feel the temperature drop as the week has progressed. The learning toolkit skills of perseverance and resilience were definitely put to the test but our adaptions to uniform, PE timings and classroom environment allowed for children to remain in school and still learning.

After eagerly anticipating what was in store for them during transition days; the children have enjoyed time in their next year group alongside their new classmates and teachers this week. Transition days offer the opportunity for teachers and children alike to get to know each other outside of the demands of the curriculum. As I moved through the school it was clear to see that children were engaged and happy with their new environments and that adult were already working on establishing the routines and expectations they wish to embed in September.

Many thanks to all of the parents and carers who joined us for our transition Evening on Wednesday, it was a great turn-out and gave us a chance to share the year group expectations for you to support with at home too. If you were unable to make the event, the slides for each year group will be available soon for you to refer to.

I look forward to seeing many of you at our Summer fair today after school. As always, FOWS have put in lots of hard work behind the scenes to make the event a success.

Have a good weekend.

Mrs Fidgett
