Save The Children Xmas Jumper Day

Today pupils and staff at Ashill School raised over £48.00 in aid of Save The Children. 

They wore some 'fantastically' festive jumpers and sang festive songs beautifully in the playground. We hope the local community heard their lovely singing voices on such a nice dry, sunny day.

 

Thank you to all parents and families for your support.

A message from Joanne Crocker

In our previous newsletter, we were looking forward to welcoming all of our children back into school and with their return, Spring appeared bringing it's message of new beginnings. We have all been incredibly proud of the children, who have shown remarkable resilience and positivity and bounced (literally in some cases) back into school ready to embrace new experiences. Nonetheless it has been a challenging term for everyone and the children are certainly ready for a break. Thank you all for your support of our small schools and we wish you a joyful, safe Easter.

A Message From Sue Rogers Deputy CEO Posted on: 26/02/2021

A Message From Sue Rogers Deputy CEO

Dear Parents and Carers, I do hope you and your family managed to enjoy some time together over the half term break. I appreciate that we couldn’t really go anywhere but at least the pressure of home schooling was relieved!    With the publication of the Government’s roadmap we can now have hope for the future. Whilst this has been a very anxious time for many of us there is a light and real hope for those things that we have all been missing. Time with families, opportunities to take a drive to the seaside or for a walk somewhere different. Holidays! I wonder if we will ever take those things for granted after a year of not having those very basic freedoms.    It has been lovely to have as many as 40-50% of our children in our schools during this last lockdown but I can say that we are very excited about seeing all our children on March 8th. We are currently ensuring that we are ready and making plans for the continued safety of your children and our staff when everyone returns. Whilst we all know that learning is very important, and of course we are planning to accelerate every child’s progress as we move forward, we also know that for our children being back together with their friends, taking part in physical activity, creative work and opportunities to be supported with their social, emotional and mental health will also be very important.    I have just been reading a letter from the Youth Sports Trust’s ‘Well School’ Board, that has been written to share with children and young people but I thought this was such a positive and life affirming message for all of us as we begin our new journey on March 8th.   Here is a quote from the letter:   “You are the future and that future is not written. There are challenges but there always have been and always will be: we know we will get through this together. We have complete faith in you. We want you to know that; more than anything. Do not let us or anyone else tell you what you can or can’t be. We don’t know. We cannot imagine what you will achieve. But we are so excited to see and be a part of it.   We hope to see you back in our school very soon. Whatever happens next, it will just be another step in your journey.”   What perfect encouragement for our children, our staff, our parents and the wider community to begin to write our unwritten future.   We look forward to welcoming your children back to school on March 8th.   With best wishes,   Sue Rogers  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

A Message from Joanne Crocker

A message from Assistant Head, Joanne Crocker It has not been the easiest start to term with many of the children returning to remote education, but I would like to say a huge thank you to every member of staff, who with their incredible commitment to the children, have slipped seamlessly into remote education. It has been wonderful to see that without exception every one of our fabulous children has shown positive engagement in the Zoom sessions,  in the work set, or by their relentless positivity in school. We appreciate the hard work and dedication that so many of you are putting into your children's remote education and we recognise that this is no easy challenge. There will be days where things seem overwhelming and we would urge you on those days to do what makes you and your children happy. Mental health and wellbeing is far more important than completing every piece of work in the classroom. As a school we are here to support you the best way we can so please do get in touch if you have any questions or concerns. Finally, we would like to wish Lindsay every happiness in her retirement and as soon as we are able to, we will say a proper goodbye.  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
Lindsay Gabriel, Executive Head of School retires Posted on: 14/01/2021

Lindsay Gabriel, Executive Head of School retires

Dear Parents and Carers, I am sad to announce that Lindsay Gabriel has decided that now is the time for her to retire. Lindsay has worked in school leadership for 15 years and has contributed a huge amount to the profession. She has spent almost 2 years leading TRLP's Small Schools' Hub and in this time has brought the 3 schools together as an effective team enabling significant improvements in the teaching and learning for all students. She is a kind, caring leader who has supported her staff team during the unprecedented circumstances which have been thrust upon us over much of the year.  I am sure you would like to join me to thank Lindsay for her contribution to the schools and wish her a safe, healthy and happy retirement. Yours faithfully, Suzanne Flack CEO  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

A Message from CEO Suzanne Flack

As 2020 comes to an end I think we would all agree that is has been a year like no other. Thanks go to everyone, in each of our schools, who have tirelessly worked through national lock-downs and under ever changing restrictions to provide such great teaching and learning opportunities for our youngsters. Our Christmas festivities have been rather different too but, with a little ingenuity, we have still managed to share the joy of Christmas in primary schools with all of you. Thank you so much for your continued support at this difficult time. The Christmas break is going to be unusual too but if we can all do our bit to keep safe we will return ready to start the new term. I wish you all a safe, healthy and joyful Christmas and a new year filled with hope and optimism. Suzanne Flack CEO  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

A Message from Lindsay Gabriel

It has been another busy month in School and the highlight for me I have to say was to see just how moving it was in school during our Remembrance day 2 minutes silence. The children created beautiful poppies and these have been displayed in the windows to ensure all our parents and communities can see them. We have also just held some activities in aid of Children In Need, which the children have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in. This week we held our first Teaching & Learning Committee Meeting as a small Schools Hub. Our members have been able to introduce themselves and we feel sure they will work hard to scrutinise the plans we propose to develop our schools and help us forge better relationships with our local communities as well as review the different policies we put in place.  Although the plans for Christmas this year in school will be slightly different we are pleased to announce that THE SHOW WILL GO ON! and all being well we have organised to show a real live pantomime, online, in school, for the children, in the last week of Term.   Don't forget next Friday 27th is an INSET day. Stay safe, Lindsay.Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
