Torriano text messaging service has changed! Messages will now be sent via Arbor.
Arbor have launched an app, making the parent portal accessible on your phone. The school will be using the app to send messages to parents, this will help to improve communication between the school and parents/carers as the messages will appear as pop up notifications on your phone. We encourage all parents/carers to download the app and set themselves up on it.
Unfortunately, our current attendance is 95.4%, which is well below our 97% attendance target.
We look forward to working together with families to improve attendance in the coming months.
Wherever possible, please ensure your child attends medical appointments outside of the school day. Holidays during term time will not be authorised and any leave
requests will only be approved in exceptional circumstances.
All clubs begin next week 13th January except for Arsenal Double Club which starts on the 20th January and Homework Club on 22nd January.
Please note parents/carers must book via
Torriano reception.

Y4 enjoyed a rhythmic gymnastics session taught by former
Olympic and Commonwealth rhythmic gymnastics choreographer Ellen Watson.
Torriano children learnt a gymnastics routine which they will later perform to our reception classes. Y4 will have a chance to teach reception their gymnastics skills using a ribbon.
Torriano Sharks FC Girls’ Team played friendlies against other Camden schools at Talacre last Wednesday. Amazing performances from our goalkeeper Darcy and striker Sidra.
Torriano Athletics team participated in a competition yesterday. They raced, jumped and showed powerful throws. A special mention to our girls’ team who came top 3 in all their races and Indira who managed to get to 3rd place in her track events and two 2nd place in her field events. Well Done!
We will publish Torriano Athletics Team results next week.
Watch out next week for the sports events news!
Happy New Year Torriano!
We trust you had a wonderful break and are refreshed for the new term.
There are some PTA fun fundraising events ahead for us to plan (Quiz Night and Valentine’s), as well as assisting Vjosa, who is a Torriano Teaching Assistant, in her quest to raise money for the school through running the Brighton Marathon. We would also like to assist in raising awareness for World Autism Week which is coming up soon!
Therefore, we will be having a meeting next week on Friday 17th January in Earth Kitchen at 2.30pm.
Please join us to help with all our planning and any ideas that could be useful. If you can’t attend the meeting, you’re always welcome to email us at: [email protected]
Hopefully see you at the meeting!

The NW5 Project is a small, independent, community-run charity. We were established in 1973 following a campaign from residents
concerned about a lack of facilities, for young people, on the Peckwater Estate on Islip Street, in Kentish Town.
We aim to provide facilities and services for young people aged
between 0-21 years and their families, in and around the Kentish Town area.
We seek to foster community cohesion throughout our work and the children who attend our services, come from over twenty different
nationalities and ethnic Backgrounds
