Developing our people Nurturing our differences Aspiring for excellence
Dear Parents and Carers,
Although there has not been a formal announcement
from the Government about September yet, the
general comments made by senior ministers indicate
that it is likely that schools will be open for all children
in September.
We are planning on this basis at the moment and in
the next several weeks, we will be writing to all
families with arrangements subject to the Government
confirming that this is the official plan.
We really do hope that we are allowed to welcome
everyone back very soon.
Thurrock Libraries are running their summer
reading challenge as usual and details are provided
below. Do encourage your children to take part.
Reading is the key to success for sure!
Ms Pumfrey and the Leadership Teams in our schools
Thurrock Libraries’ Summer
Reading Challenge
Thurrock Libraries run a very
popular Summer Reading
Challenge every year and usually come in to school to
lead an assembly about the event. This year they are
launching it online. Please follow this link to see a
short video the library staff have made about this
event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypZHxnQ-

Road Safety
In the Summer Term, Thurrock
Council’s Road Safety Team
usually come in to schools and work with our
Reception and Year 5 pupils as well as take them out
on a road safety walk. This year, they have made
presentations which you can share with your children
at home. Although they are aimed at Reception and
Year 5, they can be used with children of any age.
Please follow the link to take you to the presentation:

News Links for Children
In school each week, teachers use
a range of news stories to keep
children aware of the wider world, interest them in
what is happening and to develop their general
knowledge and interest.
While we are closed, you may wish to use these links
with your children to read the stories together and to
discuss them.
