Welcome Back


Welcome back to Term 5 at Wrotham Road Primary School, I trust you all had a lovely restful break and didn’t eat too much chocolate!
It was great to see many of you at the weekend lining the streets for the Vaisakhi parade, the children who joined in looked wonderful and really enjoyed the day.

I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome Craig Stone who starts with us today in a newly created role of Learning Mentor. Craig will be working closely with a number of carefully targeted children offering specific support with their learning. He will work alongside Niki Kellam (our Family Liaison Officer).

I’d also like to welcome Mr Sheehan back, as many of you know he has been unwell for quite some time and will be ‘eased back in gently’! As Andromeda class are now very well settled with Miss White, she will continue as the class teacher for the foreseeable future so as to avoid further upheaval.
Mr Sheehan will initially be on a reduced timetable to enable him to get up to speed on developments at the school that have taken place in his absence. We are glad to see him back, as I’m sure the children will be.

Our new website is nearly ready to launch, just a few minor tweaks and it’ll be available for all to use. 

Diary dates will be published shortly, but in the meantime we are looking for any volunteers who can free anything from 30mins or more this Saturday from 9am to help us do some work on our allotment for the children to use. See flyers around the school for more details.

As always, thank you to most parents who avoid taking any holiday during term time, I hope by July we’ll see really improved overall attendance figures for the school.
