In maths, we ordered and remembered the days of the week.
Days of the week
KS1 Celebration of Learning!
Thank you to our parents for coming to our celebration of learning and purchasing our final products!
Order my Parental Contribution Scheme iPad
As you know a school-managed iPad is part of the standard kit required of students in secondary schools across XP Trust. We have brokered a successful Parental Contribution Scheme to enable this for all our children for the last 4 years and continue to do this again for 2023/24.
The iPad scheme for September 2023 includes:
- An iPad 9th Generation
- A logitech keyboard and trackpad
- AppleCare + for two years
- Jamf – (device management and security)
- A glass screen protector
We will have a bank of Apple Pencils for use in Art and Design sessions. You are welcome to purchase an apple pencil of your own, should you wish, and we would recommend either:
- Apple Pencil – Touch sensitive
- Skriva – Not touch sensitive but does shade on the angle of the nib.
The extended warranty is covered by Apple for the first two years. You handle your own claims through an app. Further information can be found here:
https://www.apple.com/uk/support/products/ipad/
There is a claim excess for broken screens at £29, we will supply a glass screen protector free of charge. This will be checked regularly by Crew Leaders as part of our kit checks.
You can get support and make warranty claims here: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/apple-support/id1130498044
Loss or theft of the iPad needs to be covered by your personal home insurance.
Cost of the scheme
The total retail cost of these items bought separately would be £598. Through our new purchase scheme the cost to you is £451.
This balance will be applied to your Parent Pay account and you can manage your own payments. Here are a few options.
- £12.53 per month for 36 months (£2.89 a week)
- £18.79 per month for 24 months (£4.44 a week)
- Pay the balance at any time within three years at comfortable amounts for your circumstances.
- Speak with your child’s Crew Leader if you need financial support with this.
At the end of your child’s time in school the device can be kept by the family if the balance has been paid in full.

Water Safety 💦💧🌊
In KS1 we have been exploring how to keep safe in the water, especially with the warmer weather on the way. We produced some beautiful posters to help our crew remember to think carefully about entering the water 🌊
Here are our key messages to our crew……
Dominic said, “don’t go near the edge, you might fall in.”
Leo told his crew, “there might be rubbish in lakes what might pull you under.”
Evie said, “Don’t go in water without a grown up because you could drown and there isn’t a grown up to help you.”
Family Picnic, Friday 21st July, 12 noon 🧺
We’re excited to see you all at the Summer Fayre ☀️

LKS2 Celebration of Learning 🌍🎶🌊⛰🌋🏫
This afternoon marked the end of our LKS2 Expedition, ‘Earth Shattering Events’. To celebrate all of the learning that had taken place we invited parents, grandparents and other family members to join us for a special celebration in the school hall. Children sang songs, performed poems and shared interesting facts that they had learnt about earth shattering events such as, earthquakes, volcanoes and floods. The children were amazing and we were all super proud of them! 👏
Thank you so much to all of the grown ups who attended to support their child/ren, it was a great turnout! Also if you didn’t get the opportunity to buy one of our celebratory baskets that includes the book that the children created as part of their Autumn Expedition, then these will be available to purchase from Crew Thompson after school tomorrow!
EYFS Sports Day
What an amazing morning! Crew McGlone and Crew Welburn were absolutely fabulous during our Sports Day and the amount of grown ups that joined us was wonderful! The children were so well behaved and really enjoyed themselves. The weather managed to hold out and the rain held off – wahoo! Thank you so much to all the grown ups who came to share this lovely event with us, your support is very much appreciated!
Transition – Crew MW (continued)
More pictures of our extremely exciting day on Tuesday!
Because we usually only stay for a morning session, we got to enjoy our first proper dinner time as we stayed for a FULL DAY for our transition! We thought our lunch was delicious and did an amazing job of lining up at the servery and we were very polite when talking to our lovely kitchen staff.
