Romiley Primary School

Dear Parents and Carers, What a week! We’ve been melting for most of the week but also basking in positivity: the PTA Summer Fair was excellent – thank you to all who supported this and our amazing PTA; Year 1 made pizza, Year 6 are working hard on their production, Aladdin; Romiley’s got talent was amazing (so was the infamous teacher dance!); our school improvement adviser praised our inclusive practice; and representatives from the EEF were so impressed with Miss Baskeyfield and the development of oracy at school that they want to use her to train others! Of course, when you work with 460 children, there’s never a ‘perfect’ week and as humans we are prone to pay more attention to the negatives – but there is so much gold this week to reflect on! It’s important to recognise the positives in order to hold the highs and lows in correct perspective. I do hope you have a fantastic weekend. See you next week. Mr Bassett

Dear Parents and Carers, Welcome back to the last half term of this academic year! I can’t believe we’re here already. This half term is always busy with transition events, special assemblies, school trips, performances, Sports Day, Romiley’s Got Talent, Summer Fair and much more! If you are celebrating Father’s Day, I hope you have a fantastic day. Enjoy your weekend and I’ll see you on Monday. Mr Bassett

Dear Parents and Carers, I do hope you enjoy the bank Holiday and the half term! Your children have worked really hard this half term and you should be proud. During the holiday, I am planning to cycle from west coast to east coast, over the Pennines. This will of course be a lot of fun, but it also to raise money for the school PTA. In the future, being an academy will enable us to find efficiencies and get more out of the government funding we receive, however, right now, we are still one of the lowest funded schools in one of the lowest funded local authorities. Which is why I am so grateful for the PTA and the fundraising which enables us to get those ‘extras’ which enhance the children’s experience at RPS. I hope, in some little way, riding across the country can support the PTA! If you would like to donate, you can find the link and QR code inside the newsletter. I do hope you have a restful half term. I’ll see you back here on Monday 9th June… I must decide to drive to work on that day! Mr Bassett

Dear Parents and Carers, Firstly, a massive well done to Year 6 this week! We're so proud of their resilience, determination and effort - not just this week - but for the whole year! Secondly, following some upsetting posts on social media which I have been made aware of, I have attached our Respect Policy as a reminder. Every member of our school community should feel safe and respected in our school, including parents and pupils. Finally, believe it or not, we only have one week left until half term! During half term, I will be attempting to cycle from Southport to Hornsea, a coast to coast trail following the Trans Pennine Trail, raising money for the school PTA. More on this next week... In the meantime, have a great weekend. Mr Bassett

Good afternoon! That was a short - but packed week! Thank you to everyone involved in the family bike ride on Monday - we had a great time! We also celebrated 80 years since VE Day with a whole school picnic on the field! One of the children said, 'Thank you, I'm just having the best day!' Whatever you're doing this weekend, I hope you have a good one. Kind regards, Mr Bassett

Good afternoon! Happy Friday and happy Bank Holiday! Please find attached our weekly newsletter. Also attached to this week's newsletter is information about the new Young People's Mental Health Support Team, information about a sleep webinar and a webinar about understanding anxiety. We hope you find these useful. This week we welcomed everyone back to the Summer Term and I can't believe we're here already! This term is absolutely packed with great activities for your child. I do hope you have a great Bank Holiday - I'll see some of you on Monday when we get together for the PTA Family Bike Ride on the Middlewood way. Enjoy, Mr Bassett

Good afternoon, Please find attached a flyer, regarding a bike ride at Middlewood Way on Monday 5th May. Kind regards,

Dear Parents and Carers, Here's the last newsletter of the term. It has been an egg-cellent term and there are so many egg-cited children ready for a ‘cracking’ Easter! Next term is sure to be fun, our eggs-pert staff have planned some eggs-ceptional learning opportunities for the children. I think that’s all for now yolks! Have a great Easter – I’ll see you on 28th April! Mr Bassett

Good afternoon and happy Friday! Weather is just weather - there's no such thing as good weather or bad weather. However, the sunshine does make everyone feel better doesn't it! This was another packed week of competitions, concerts, school trips and parents' evenings; the staff are definitely looking forward to the weekend! I do hope you enjoy some time outside this weekend. Take care, see you on Monday

Good afternoon! This week there are a few attachments to the newsletter: an update message about Helix Academies Trust, feedback from the parent questionnaire and an exciting letter about Romiley's Got Talent! What an incredible week it's been! Well-being Wednesday was a massive success - we raised over £3000 for Sense, a charity chosen by our school council who partnered with Mrs Oxer who is running the London Marathon for Sense. I am totally gob-smacked by the generosity in our community! Thank you. Our children benefited through 2 of the 5 ways to well-being we have been learning about - helping others and staying active. Well done to our amazing children for getting stuck in! This week, I have attached some feedback from the parent questionnaire which you may find interesting. I am very proud to work with and for such a supportive community, sadly, this is no longer the norm in education. If you're celebrating Eid this coming week, Eid saeed, If you're celebrating Mother's Day, I hope you have a great one. Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you on Monday.
