Supporting Your Child’s Well Being
Resource Base Proposal
Edmund Waller Primary School has expressed an interest in opening a resource base provision for children with ASD at Edmund Waller. The school would provide a classroom and skilled staff to meet the needs of these children thus providing a valuable service to the community. It would also improve the school’s current offer for children with SEND as it would increase expertise across the school as well as improving professional development opportunities for staff. The specialist staff and resources would be able to be shared across the whole school. This proposal is in line with the school’s vision and ethos.
Humanity – a culture of visible kindness where everyone is treated fairly and respectfully.
Creativity – an environment where children have the skills to think creatively, explore the world and communicate their findings with others.
Ambition – high expectations for all ensuring equitable access to the curriculum and other opportunities within school.
Year 6 Feeding Time!
Year 6 took their SATs tests this week. They were the first set of assessments held since the start of the pandemic. To try and reduce any anxiety or worry, we invited the whole of the year group in for breakfast from Monday – Thursday (there are no papers on a Friday).
We were delighted that so many of the children chose to join us each morning. There was a lovely calm atmosphere, which set the tone for the day.
A huge thank you to Ms Greenbank and Mrs Price for organising the breakfast choices and (wo)manning the toasters so efficiently
Year 5 at Stubbers – Day 2
Good morning
What beautiful sky!
Rather than let the day and the wonderful weather go to waste, many year 5 children decided to get up around 5am to run around and play football.
Once everyone was awake and dressed, and awake, we headed down to the canteen.
Breakfast
Morning Activities Begin
Lunch Time
Sandwiches, potato, salad, fruit and a treat. Everyone still very much enjoying the food 🙂
Afternoon
All fuelled up and ready for more, groups 3 and 4 went up against each other in an orienteering challenge!
The long walk up the hill to the orienteering start point
The two groups of children went alone to find points set out in the map, using nothing but landscape features and as their guide.
Teamwork makes the dream work
Laser Tag – Rumours are that Ms Silverton was absolutely ruthless
Dinner time
Evening
After dinner, everyone has a hot chocolate, a biscuit and a tidy up. Then it’s off for free play for the rest of the evening.
Enjoying the playground
One more day to go.
Arrived! Stubbers Day 1
Year 5 finally got to begin the eagerly anticipated residential at Stubbers today.
We enjoyed a warm welcome from the staff, found our tents and bunks, and got settled in time for dinner.
And now to end the evening with some entertainment.
Year 5 have arrived!
The rain has gone, the sun is shining and we have lots of very happy children running about until bedtime. Activities proper start tomorrow, but for now we have football, playground, dance tent and zip wire to entertain us!
Strings is Out!
Strings, the last Year 6 Opera project, is now available to rent or by on Amazon.
Those under 7 years old might find some parts scary.

Our current Year 6 project will be screened at Genesis Cinema on Wednesday 20th July.
Tickets are not yet available, but we will let you know when they are.

Heading Home
The children are en route and heading home.
Here are the last batch of photos – thanks so much for the positive comments, feedback and support.
The children are on-track for a 4pm return back to school. We will text all parents if they are going to be more than 30mins later than planned.
