Dear Families,

We wanted to keep you in the loop about a little hiccup we've encountered with our emails from Arbor. It seems that they’ve been sneaking into your junk folders! This issue isn’t just happening here; it's a nationwide thing affecting many parents across the UK.

Arbor is a fantastic school system, but unfortunately, some emails have been mistakenly marked as junk by users, leading to Google and Microsoft tagging all Arbor emails the same way. This means some of our important messages may not be reaching you as they should.

But don’t worry! There's a quick fix! To ensure you start receiving our emails in your inbox again, simply find an email from Arbor, click on it, and mark it as “Not Junk” or move it to your inbox. This will help kickstart the process and get our communications back where they belong!

We truly value keeping you informed about events and celebrating our students' learning adventures. So, thank you for your understanding and support! If you have any questions, feel free to speak to our school office.

Dear families,

Our FS2 children will be visiting Darnall Library for a fun-filled time of exploring books and listening to captivating stories! Here are the details for each class visit:

- **Monday 20th April** – 10.30am – FS2 Garnet and ½ FS2 Topaz

- **Tuesday 21st April** – 2pm - FS2 Opal and ½ FS2 Topaz

Lunch will be as usual in school. Please ensure your child wears their full school uniform, sensible shoes, and brings a waterproof coat in case of rain.

If your child has a library card, kindly send it to school with them to give to their class teacher as they’ll have a chance to borrow books

We also need parent volunteers! If you’d like to help, please talk to your child's teacher. You would look after a small group of children.

Thank you for your support!

Dear Parents,

You are all invited to our road safety coffee morning meeting on **Wednesday, 29th April at 9am**. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to come together and discuss the important topic of road safety for our children as they travel to school.

Mira Lieberman a representative from Sheffield City Council will be joining us to share insights on how we can ensure our children feel safe walking, biking, or cycling to school. Your participation is crucial in making a positive impact on their safety and well-being.

All parents are welcome, so please bring your thoughts, & ideas!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Morning families!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! 🎉 To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any picnic blankets, sandbox play toys, buckets shovels & molds that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

And guess what? We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime on the last week of term! 📸

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You make our community awesome! 💖

Dear families

school is now closed for the Easter holiday, and will re-open for all pupils on Tuesday 14th April 2026.

Today has been such a fun-filled day celebrating Eid! Children have played exciting games, and indulged in delicious treats at their parties! Some even had an Easter egg hunt too! It’s been absolutely amazing to see all the children & staff looking so sharp in their smart Eid clothes! What a wonderful way to celebrate together! #EidCelebration
