Dear Residents,
The Great Harvest Bake Off
This week the whole school community have been celebrating the
autumn harvest with a whole school event which involves planning,
cooking and selling the children’s creations. Each class has planned to
bake/make something to raise money for two different local charities.
The parents/carers have been invited in to school today to visit a pop
up café. The money raised through our Great Harvest Bake Off will be
split amongst LeatherHEAD START and Epsom and Ewell Foodbank.
LeatherHead START provides emergency, direct access, short-term
accommodation for homeless men and women over the age of 18.
Priority is given to those with a local connection to Mole Valley.
Epsom and Ewell Foodbank is run by local people for local people and
they rely on the community’s support to ensure they can continue to
stop people going hungry.
As a school we are very proud to support these extremely vital local
charities.
We wish you all a very restful half term.
Best wishes,
Mrs Louise Druce
Headteacher

Safe parking and driving
We promote safe parking and driving at regular points in our school newsletters and we regularly ask for Traffic
Wardens to support us as we are aware that not everyone is considerate when using local roads.
You may be aware that we kindly ask our Parents/Carers to follow a voluntary one way route around Christ
Church Mount at peak times. This is to ease congestion and keep traffic flowing.
If you wanted to join in at drop off (8.40am-ish) and pick up, (3.00pm-ish), then we are driving round Christ
Church Mount so that the School is on the left. Many thanks for your continuing support.

As a school we know the importance of educating both the
mind and heart. As a result we have partnered with MindUP to
train the staff so that they can give the children the tools to
recognise and reduce stress so they are not carrying it and can
lead happy lives.
We have chosen MindUP as it aims to:
Teach children well being and resilience
Increase feelings of optimism and enhance well being
Improve self-control and self management
Help children understand their brains and the effect on emotions and behaviour
Engage the children in school and community
Increase empathy and compassion and reduce bullying
The MindUp lessons revolve around neuroscience and it has been wonderful to see the children
eagerly embracing concepts and the high order scientific vocabulary that they have been
introduced to. Terminology such as the pre frontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala are now
referred to amongst even the youngest children in the school!
