January is nearly over! We are glad that the weather has remained consistent this week as we try to catch up on the missing days.
Lots of different activities have taken place this week. Our Year 2 children visited the ‘Partnership Centre’ to study a topic called ‘The Young Electrician’. Our Year 4 children had their first music session with professional musician Matt Bramhall and have started work on their Cov Kool Kids presentation. Eden, Scott and Joe (from Year 6) represented our school at the annual Coventry School’s Year 6 conference at Network Rail and were a real credit to school and families. All our Year 5 children visited Warwick University for an action packed ‘Science’ day. Year 3 started their swimming lessons (which will be on every Tuesday until further notice).
Year 1 led a very active assembly for us today. It is really encouraging to see so many parents attending our Friday assembly. Our ‘Playgroup’ meets in the school hall afterwards until late morning. If you have a toddler who requires company on a Friday morning come along and join us at Leigh.
Next week some of our Year 4 and all Year 5 will start a project based on ‘The Tudors’ which culminates in a performance at Coventry Cathedral on Monday 8th March. Parents are most welcome to attend the afternoon performance (details to follow).
Some of our Year 5 are also involved in a local school’s project called ‘Schools of Sanctuary’ and will be having their second meeting next Friday.
Please remember to send your parent/teacher meeting request back. Our school closes at 2:30pm on Tuesday 9th February and Wednesday 10th February. Parent/Teacher meetings start at 4pm and continue until 6:30pm.
Our PTA are organising a Valentine’s Disco for children who attend this school. The Disco is in our school hall on Thursday 11th February. Entrance is £2.00 per child. The disco starts at 6:00pm and will finish promptly at 7:30pm.
Governors have started the process to recruit a new Head Teacher for the school with a National advert being placed in Educational newspapers next week. The Governors hope to interview suitable candidates in early March. The Governors would like your input as to what parents are looking for in a Head Teacher, please complete the slip attached to the newsletter or email the school at info@leighcofeprimary.com and return to the school office by Monday. Please keep the Governors and staff in your prayers as they seek a permanent Head Teacher for this lovely school.
