Dear Parents and Carers,
With our bank holiday Monday this week, we didn’t have our Monday collective worship from our friends at Holy Trinity Church. This does give us time to reflect on our relaxation time – I rather like the quotation from Ecclesiastes (3:12-13) which says “I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.” With our summer months very nearly upon us, it is a time to enjoy our surroundings, celebrate the good weather and enjoy each other’s company.
Have a very happy weekend,
Best wishes,
Mr George
| Notices and Requests |
A very proud school sharing some exciting news:
It is with huge pride that we can share that one of our pupils has been
shortlisted for a national award. This award is designed to celebrate the
development of a player involved in primary schools’ football, representing their
school football team. It is an award for a player who has strived for the very best,
overcome obstacles, shown improvement and resilience and has developed both in
school and socially through their playing of schools’ football, as part of a team. A
huge congratulations to Tabby in Year 6 for getting this far. Voting, however, will
open and be online on Monday 25th May. Voting is open for 10 days, with voting
closing on Wednesday, 3rd June 2026. We will be sure to share the link when the time
is right so we can all get behind Tabby and support her in the next part of the
process. Well done Tabs!
KS2 Choir – an opportunity to support this weekend
Our KS1 and KS2 choirs will be performing on stage at the Richmond May Fair this Saturday 9th April at 13:40. Please do come along to support us if you are able to. The performance should last approximately 15 minutes.
Barnes Literature Festival 2026
We are thrilled to announce that every child from Reception to Year 6 has been allocated a ticket to this year’s Barnes Literature Festival! This is a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to experience the magic of storytelling, meet outstanding authors and illustrators, and be inspired by the world of books. Full details, including the date of your child’s trip, the incredible author or illustrator they will be seeing, and lunch arrangements, will be sent out via ParentMail. A Google Form will also be included, which must be completed for your child to attend. This is a free
event, and we are delighted that all pupils will have the chance to take part. We look forward to an exciting festival filled with creativity and imagination!
Volunteering
It is such a joy being able to take your children on school trips and enhance their educational opportunities. In order to do this though, we often need parent support and volunteers. In these cases, it is best practice for all our volunteers to be DBS checked. If you are likely to volunteer then please do go to Mrs Prendergast in the office who will be able to discuss the next steps in getting this sorted for you. DBS checks do not have an official expiry date and are considered valid for three years so it will last for a while whilst your children attend this school.
Share and Care Collective
All around the country, there are people who sometimes need a little bit of extra help
buying food and toiletries for their family. Share & Care Collective is a small local charity that helps local families with weekly supplies of food and toiletries during term time. They collect donations from across the community and work in partnership with local primary schools to distribute our
support bags. We have agreed to host a collection box for this charity. If you would like to donate, please take your items to Mrs Prendergast and Mrs Bell in the office. Thank you to those who are already donating.
Teachers Cycle to Paris!
This year, three of our teachers will be joining the team cycling 300km to Paris in the summer! We hope you can support Miss Bannenberg’s, Mr Hambling’s and Mr Thomson’s efforts in any way you can, directly funding resources for Holy Trinity School and Skylarks Charity, who support children in our community and across Richmond with additional needs and disabilities, and their families, with much-needed free services.
