• Transition support

  Tue 26 Mar 2024

  As part of Nurture we recognise that 'Transition are an important part of children's lives'. Transition can be very big like changing school, class or moving house.  But they can also be very small such as coming in from playtime, lining up for lunch or leaving parents at the gate.  Children can respond to these transistions in different ways and sometimes we need to adapt our adult behaviours to support our children.  North Somerset parent Carers Working Together are offering a free parent webinar on Thursday 28th March 10am-12pm.  You are welcome to follow this link to join this Zoom call and learn more about how you can support your child.

• 4a new teacher appointment

  Fri 01 Mar 2024

  Dear parents, 

   

  Following the recent news that Miss Reasons will be leaving us at Easter, I wanted to update you about the staffing plans for term 5 and 6.  Last week we held a recruitment day for the role of Year 4 teacher and I am please to inform you that we were successful in appointing Miss Eleanor Hale as our new teacher.  I would like to welcome Miss Hale to the Bournville family, and I am sure you will join me in issuing a warm welcome.  Miss Hale will be joining us before Easter to enable a period of smooth transition prior to Miss Reasons leaving.  This will include joining us for parents evening and upcoming ISP meetings.  

   

  If you have any questions regarding this appointment, please do not hesitate to contact us.  
   

  Kind regards

• Y2 and5 changes

  Fri 01 Mar 2024

  Dear Parents, 

  
   

  I would like to update you about some staffing changes.  

  
  In order to cover some current staff absence and ensure that children receive as consistent a provision as possible, I have made some adjustment to the staffing in school.  

   

  Mrs Paddon and Mrs Richards have both temporarily increased their working days.  This will enable Mrs Richards to teach in 2A for 4 days a week Monday - Thursday.  Mrs Corlett will be teaching the class on a Friday.  

  
  So this cover can take place, Mrs Paddon will be increasing to teach 5B for 4 days a week, Tuesday to Friday, with Miss Wright teaching the class on a Monday.  By utilising existing school staff to create the class cover, we hope to minimise the disruption as much as possible and ensure staff in the classes will be familiar to the children.  Support staff teams will not be changing.  

  
  Should you have any questions regarding this please do not hesitate to speak to a member of SLT.  

  
  Kind regards

  
  Marie Berry

• Announcement

  Mon 19 Feb 2024

  Dear Parents and Carers,

  
  It is with great sadness that I am writing to let you know that Gail Southan died last
  Sunday after a short illness.

  
  Gail had been a part of the Bournville family for a long time: 32 years as a member
  of staff working as an LSA, Lunchtime support and Breakfast club worker. In recent
  years she had worked with the children in KS2, especially children in Year 4 and
  most children in KS2 will have worked with her. Gail was known for the kindness and
  nurture that she gave to so many of our children as well as her many years of
  experience supporting children across our school. She will be deeply missed by us
  all.

  
  Gail was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last summer. She had many close
  friends among the staff team and those of us who saw her in the last few weeks
  noted how strong and positive she had remained throughout her illness.

  
  I spoke to the whole school this morning at assembly and explained what had
  happened. Children were given time and support back in class to ask questions or
  discuss the news they had been told. Children were also given the opportunity to
  write a message or memory on a butterfly which will be added to a school memorial
  to Gail. The staff addressed any questions the children had, but they may have
  questions they want to ask at home too. If any parents feel they need support with
  this, please do not hesitate to speak to one of the team.

  
  We plan to hold an event to remember Gail in the next few weeks and will let you
  know what we have decided when we have more details.

  
  In the meantime, our thoughts are with Gail’s husband, Children and grandchildren.
  Best Wishes
  Marie Berry

• Staff changes

  Fri 09 Feb 2024

  9^th February 2024

   

  Dear Parents, 

   

  I would like to update you about upcoming staff changes in 4a.  This week Miss Reasons accepted a job offer at Mendip Green Primary school and will be leaving Bournville at the end of term 4.  We know changes mid-year can cause anxiety but we are actively recruiting to replace Miss Reasons and we will keep you updated on our progress at the beginning of term 4. 

   

  I am sure you will join me in wishing Miss Reasons every success.  Please be assured that she will be committed to providing the highest quality education for the children until the end of term 4.  Your children have been informed about this news today but please reassure them Miss Reasons will be here when they return after half term.  

   

  Should you wish to discuss this, SLT will be on the gate at the end of the day.  

   

  Best Wishes
