Parent, Pupil and Staff Survey Results

World Cup Mufti Day

Promoting Knowledge of the World and Cultural Diversity was the focus of our whole school World Cup Mufti Day.  Pupils came to school dressed in the colours of a team of their choosing and brought in research about a country which they had completed as part of their homework.  Pupils then worked in groups to share facts and deepen their research. They then decorated the school with their work.

Valentine's Meal

In February, Eden Food Services hosted a Valentine's Meal for parents and pupils.  The hall was decorated by the pupils and everyone enjoyed the delicious meal provided - including specially made heart shaped biscuits!

Hautbois House

Year 4 had a wonderful time at their residential trip to Hautbois House in Norfolk.  Click the link below to hear what our pupils had to say about their trip.

Parking on Rossway

Once again, we must remind parents to avoid obstructive and dangerous parking outside school. We have seen a rise in complaints from local residents regarding illegal parking on pavements and verges.  Many of our own parents have also aired concerns. The safety of our children is paramount. Your co-operation is much appreciated.

Goodbye and Best Wishes

It is the end of the summer term and what a wonderful send off was given to the children leaving Slip End Lower School for pastures new. The performance given by the Year 4 pupils was spectacular; laughter, tears and an overwhelming sense of pride filled the hall.

Thank you children for being such a great asset to our school.  We will miss you; but we know that exciting, new adventures await you at your new schools and we wish you all the very, very best

Cricket Trip to The Oval

Pupils, teachers and parents enjoyed a fantastic trip to watch a cricket game at the Oval on Friday 27th June.  The opportunity to watch professional competitive sport and soak up the atmosphere of the cricket ground was inspirational.  Thank you to Mr O'Brien and Mr. Burgess for organising this wonderful event.

Stockwood Athletics Trip

Pupils from Years 1 to 4 descended on Stockwood Park's Athletics track to experience what it might be like to train as an athlete and take part in a range of specialised events such as the long jump.

Pupils had opportunities to develop their Math and Writing skills as well as test and improve their own fitness levels.

The Travelling Zoo visits Nursery

What a wonderful experience it was for our Nursery pupils to be able to wonder at the amazing creatures brought to our school. Many of the children enjoyed holding and stroking them; so did the teachers!

St. George's Day

Pupils belonging to uniformed organisations wore their uniforms to school to celebrate St. George's Day.  Brownie Leader, Mrs. Plummer joined the children for a special assembly where they heard the story of St. George and learnt about the history of Scouting and Guiding.

World Book Day

Celebrating World Book Day has become a traditional, annual event at Slip End Lower School; this year was no exception!

Everyone in the school, pupils and staff, dressed up as famous book characters for the day.  Oliver Twist, Aslan the Lion, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Katie Morag, to name but a few, were all there; it was amazing to see the diverse range of children’s literature represented.  Thank you to everyone who provided costumes and helped to make the day so successful.

 Sainsbury's Active Kids

We are collecting Sainsbury's Active Kids vouchers to help provide P.E. equipment for our school. 

Please place all vouchers in the collection box in the Reception area.

Thank you

Year 4 Animations

Year 4 would like to share their amazing animations with you.  Grab your popcorn, sit back and enjoy!

FoSELS

FoSELS work tirelessly for Slip End Lower School raising funds to enable pupils to have access to resources and provision that would otherwise be impossible. This year they have organised Quiz Nights, the Summer Fair, after school ice-lollies and much more.

Most recently, a class set of Kurio devices has been purchased by FoSELS through which pupils will be able to access the Flurrish App to help them learn their times tables. Tremendous results have been achieved at Caddington Village School through the use of the app and we look forward to being able to share in that success.

FoSELS are always looking for volunteers to help with events or join the committee. If you are interested then please contact Claire Penny or one of the other committee members. Alternatively contact the school office who will pass on your details. 

Thank you

Charitable Giving

This academic year has seen the Slip End school community support many charities including Samaritan's Purse, Children in Need and Noah. Most recently, thank you to everyone who purchased daffodils to support Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Summer Concert

It was wonderful to see so many parents and carers at our Summer Concert on Friday 27th June.  Thank you for your support.

I am sure you will all agree that the performances by the pupils were excellent. The superb singing, rousing recorders and uplifting ukuleles were a delight to listen to and it was wonderful to be able to showcase the talents of our pupils.  Well done everyone!
