Welcome from Mrs Robinson, Headteacher
Well, I cannot believe we are heading into the final week of the half-term! I continue to be incredibly proud of the children and staff at Grove, especially with the wonderful standards of presentation across the school—the children are working so hard to use their best handwriting at all times.
This week, it was a pleasure to welcome Mrs Toach from Birches Head High School to Grove. As we walked around, she was thoroughly impressed by the learning on display, and we discussed some exciting opportunities to build stronger links between our schools. I am also looking forward to visiting Birches Head during Autumn 2.
Looking ahead to next week, please remember to sign up for our Spooky Balls and our pumpkin competition – I can't wait to see all the creative entries! Our community top-up shop competition is also still running, so do get involved if you can. Additionally, we are hosting our 'New to Year 3' session on Tuesday 20th October from 3:00 to 4:00pm. This is an informal, open-door event for prospective parents and pupils to explore the school and try out some fun activities. Please feel free to pop along or spread the word to anyone with a child due to start Year 3.
On the uniform front, while we await final confirmation of our new supplier, we are purchasing the remaining stock and will be selling items directly at Grove—more information on how to order will follow shortly. Also, please do follow, like, and share our content on Facebook as we work to improve our digital presence. Please make sure your permissions are updated on Arbor so we know if we have consent to share photos of your child.
Finally, we have recently had a few online safety concerns brought to our attention. I kindly ask that you check your child's phone regularly to ensure their group chats reflect our value of 'show you care'.
Thank you as always for your continued support - have a lovely weekend!
