Spring Term is slowly coming to an end. Remember clocks go forward at 2am on Sunday morning.
This Sunday lots of local churches will be having a Palm Sunday Service. All churches would be delighted to see you if you wish to attend. Our children have been given a Palm Cross today to keep and to remember that we start Holy Week. Rev Steve Burch is leading assembly every day next week at 9:00am to tell the Easter Story. Parents are welcome to join us.
We have had another busy week at Leigh. Our Year 6 spent last Monday at Network Rail on Westwood Road, working on our special career related learning project. The children had cookery sessions, made a clock and investigated the traits of their characters. We had a brilliant time!
Players from Coventry Rugby Football Club led assembly on Thursday. Children learned a lot about the game, tickets still available in the school office for tomorrow’s game (£5.00 per adult, children free).
Our Year 4 performed their Cov Kool Kids songs in our Friday afternoon assembly. They will be going to Corpus Christi School on Tuesday to perform with other schools.
On Wednesday next week parents are invited to join us in a special afternoon assembly when a Year 4/5 group learn and perform a “musical in a day”. The performance is at 2:45pm.
Please remember that we close our school at 2:30pm on Thursday and re-open on Monday 19th April 2010

A belated Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all our families with Irish connections. Some of our Year 3 and 4 children went to a Netball Tournament at Warwick University and won 2 and drew 2 of their games, well done to our team.
Our School council hosted a visit by the School council of ‘The Revel C.E. Primary School’ located in Monks Kirby in Warwickshire. We visited their school the next day. Our liaison is based on ways we can work together and promote Christian Learning between our schools.
We had a very active assembly on Thursday when all staff and children enjoyed a lively dance and exercise session led by the Animated Dance Company who organise classes at the Heart of England School. All children had access to the company details if parents are interested in letting a child attend the sessions. The company will be back later in the year to lead a whole day session with all classes.
Thank you for supporting the ‘Sports Relief’ charity. Our school raised £160.47
Well done to our Year 3 for leading such a lively and interesting assembly. It is really rewarding to see children growing in confidence.
Some of our Year 5 attended a day of ‘Schools of Sanctuary’ work. A project undertaken by local primary schools and Westwood School.
Next Friday, Mrs Middleton who will be the next and permanent Head Teacher of Leigh C.E Primary School will be here to meet parents and staff and pupils. Do join us in assembly and stay to have a chat with Mrs Middleton.
Later on next Friday at 2.45pm our Year 4 children will be presenting their work completed with Matt Bramhall a professional musician. All are welcome to attend. Parents attending can take their child home when the assembly finishes.
May we remind parents that school closes for the end of Spring Term at 2.30pm on Thursday April 1st

We have just had an eventful week at Leigh. A large group of Years 4/5 joined with other local schools to perform at Coventry Cathedral. The subject was the Coronation of Henry VIII. Our school was praised for their excellent behaviour and contributions to the success of the project run by the Armonico Theatre Company.
A group of Year 3 and 4 pupils went to the Alan Higgs Centre to join in a football tournament. Our girls played Netball against Whoberley Hall Primary School. The girls played well but were outclassed on this occasion. The children have access to many professional coaches during the school day. Groups of our children are currently being coached in Cricket and Football. Gymnastics is available (at a small cost) after school on Tuesdays and Fridays.
In the process of ‘interviewing’ the candidates for the Headship of Leigh School our School Council were key members of that process. The Governors valued their input and the sensible questions that were asked. Next week our School Council is hosting a visit from the Revel C.E. Primary School on Wednesday and are also visiting their school on Thursday afternoon. The ‘Revel’ is a primary school set in Monks Kirby, a small village, near Rugby in Warwickshire. We hope the link is the start of a productive liaison between the two schools.
We have a huge amount of ‘lost’ property in school. I will be showing the children the huge collection and hoping some of it is recognised. It would greatly help if all sweatshirts, cardigans, fleeces, trousers, blouses and shirts could be named in some way. We could then give the ’lost’ property back to the children. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Please remember that all holidays for children in term time must be requested in advance. (Please give as much notice as you can)
Mrs Middleton, the new Headteacher of Leigh Primary School has sent me a message to pass on to the parents to the effect that she is really looking forward to becoming part of the Leigh Family and working closely with everyone. Mrs Middleton will be in school on the morning of Friday March 26th to meet children, staff and parents.

We have had a very interesting and inspirational week in school. I am pleased to inform all parents that the Governors came to a decision on Thursday and have appointed Mrs D. Middleton to the permanent Headship of our lovely school. Mrs Middleton is currently the Acting Headteacher at a school in Nuneaton and comes to her new post at Leigh with substantial experience. I know that she will be very happy to lead our school into the future. Mrs Middleton will start in September.
We welcome Blanca Minambres Alvarez, a student from Zamora, Spain who is spending a month with us, helping the children to learn some Spanish.
Our Year 6 went to Woodlands School to see the joint production by Woodlands/Tile Hill Wood of the musical ‘Oliver’. By all accounts it was a fantastic afternoon for all concerned.
Our Year 4/5 spent an afternoon dancing ‘Tudor Dances’ with the help of Armonico Theatre.
To complete our week we had a fabulous performance by the ‘Fat Cats’ a band led by Matt Bramhall as part of our Cov. Cool Kids experience. Lots of our children joined in as backing singers, air guitarists, dancers or playing piano. We had a tremendous morning. Our year 5 also sang their ‘Peace’ songs that they made up as part of our Peace and Reconciliation Project.
Next week, our Year 4/5 are performing their part of the Tudor Pageant at Coventry Cathedral. All are welcome to go to the performance at 2:00pm.
