    Special Announcement

    I am writing to share some important news regarding a valued member of our school community. Our SENDCO and Deputy Headteacher, Leanne McGowan, has recently been appointed as the new Head of School at The Observatory School. This is a fantastic opportunity for Mrs McGowan and a well-deserved recognition of her dedication, skill, and leadership.

    Mrs McGowan has been an integral part of our team, and her work has made a lasting impact on the children, families, and colleagues she has supported. Her commitment to inclusive education and her advocacy for pupils with additional needs have shaped a nurturing and supportive environment that we will always be grateful for.

    Mrs McGowan will be leaving us at the end of this academic year to take up her new role. While we will all miss her deeply, we are incredibly proud of her achievement and wish her every success in this exciting next chapter of her career.

    We are currently in the process of recruiting a new SENDCO and will ensure a smooth transition so that our pupils and families continue to receive the support they need.

    Please join me in congratulating Leanne and thanking her for the wonderful contribution she has made to our school.

     

    Kind regards,

     

    Julia Haggett

    Head of School

    Message from Sarah Armstrong Art

    Hello

     

    I am a local artist and parent. While looking at extra curricular activities for my own children I have noticed the severe lack of offerings for creative children. Wanting to change that, I have launched a couple of introductory classes for primary school aged children. I am DBS checked, safeguarding for out of school clubs certified and hold public liability insurance. I am also a mum of three.

    Hello

     

    I am a local artist and parent. While looking at extra curricular activities for my own children I have noticed the severe lack of offerings for creative children. Wanting to change that, I have launched a couple of introductory classes for primary school aged children. I am DBS checked, safeguarding for out of school clubs certified and hold public liability insurance. I am also a mum of three.

    Exciting change in our Office & Wraparound

    We are thrilled to announce that our very own Miss Lucy will be stepping into the role of Academy Club Coordinator for our wraparound and holiday clubs here at Woodslee. While she will continue to be in the office until later in May, you'll soon start to see her involved in both Breakfast and After-School Clubs. This is an exciting new chapter, and we have no doubt she will excel in her new position. Please join us in congratulating Miss Lucy on this fantastic opportunity!

    We are excited to announce that our very own Mrs. Stant will be stepping into the role of Administrative Assistant in the office. She will continue to teach her wonderful class alongside Miss Neil until the end of the academic year, at which point she will fully transition into her new role in September. However, you may start seeing her more in the office as she begins offering support and getting to know all of you even better. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome — we know she’ll do an outstanding job, as she already has strong relationships with both our staff and students.

We embrace everyone at Woodslee. Thank you Miss Ball for a lovely interactive assembly this morning 💙🎈

    Medication Update

    Dear Parent/Carer,

    I hope this letter finds you well.  I am writing to inform you of an important update regarding the storage of medicines in school. 

    In accordance with the Trust’s Supporting Pupils with Medical Needs policy, we are no longer permitted to store general medications such as Calpol or Nurofen for pupils. 

    If your child requires medication during the school day, please visit the School Office to complete the relevant form. This will enable us to sign in the medication on a temporary basis and ensure it is administered safely.

    Should your child become unwell or require medication during the school day, we will contact you, so that you can bring in the necessary medication if required.

    Full details, please refer to the : Supporting Pupils with Medical Needs Policy (2024).

    If you have any questions or require further clarification, please contact the school office.

    Thank you for your understanding and support.

    Mrs Haggett
