  • PARENT PRAISE FOR OBS KIDS CLUB

    Fri 31 Jan 2020

    We have now had an after school wrap around care OBS KIDS club in place at school for 6 months at our school. It has grown in number significantly and remains very popular. It was wonderful to have this feedback from a parent today. Well Done to Mrs Lawson and her team!

     

    Hello Mrs Shaw

    Just a quick email, I don't get to collect my son from after school very often but I just wanted to say how impressed I was walking into after school club on Wednesday. Lots of kids doing lots of activities, lots of space and lots of great interaction from your colleagues running the club. I was lucky enough to see my son doing a forward roll which he's been practicing for ages! It's clear this is a well thought out, engaging environment for the children - thank you.

  • Story Assembly with Councillor Mellen

    Thu 30 Jan 2020

     

    Our children in Foundation, Key Stage 1 and Year 4 enjoyed a special story assembly with Councillor Mellen (Leader of Nottingham City Council). This week Councillor Mellen is undertaking a very special challenge and reading to lots of children across the city to raise funds for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library; a scheme that delivers a free book every month to children from birth up to 5 years of age. We were lucky enough to be one of the schools he visited and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to the stories read to us.
