  • Be Happy Be Healthy Week 5th - 9th February 2024

    Mon 05 Feb 2024

    Be Happy, Be Healthy Week – Monday 5th February – Friday 9th February


    Each year, we spend a week slightly off our usual timetable and focus on the importance of keeping our bodies and minds healthy and safe!
    Throughout the week, the children will learn about the importance of physical, mental and emotional well-being and will be given strategies to help them understand and manage their physical and mental health. This year, we have also organised a series of workshops to coincide with our PSHE topic of ‘Safety First’. This includes visitors from Blue Cross, Network Rail and the Royal Life Saving Society.
    We are incredibly lucky that once again, we also have a range of parent and local community volunteers visiting us in school who will be providing the children with enriching and engaging talks and workshops to consolidate their learning. This includes visits from martial arts instructors, personal trainers, dentists and many more! A big thank you to school staff who are also volunteering time and resources to help make this event spectacular! This is a really exciting week in our school calendar, which the children love, and we are extremely grateful for everyone who has volunteered to help make it as memorable as possible.

  • JRSA Bike Shelter Survey Results

    Mon 05 Feb 2024

    Adult Survey

    For question one, (Is there a reason your child doesn’t cycle to school), most people said it is too far to cycle (18/53). However, 15/53 voted for “because there is no bike shed.”

    For question 2, (If you would let your child cycle, what time of the year), most people said just Summer and Spring (17/45).

    For question 3, (would you let your children cycle all week), it was close but 19/45 said once or twice. However, 17/45 people said all the time.

    For question 4, (Would you let your children cycle to school), 8/15 of people said yes.

    In summary, with an overwhelming amount of people saying they would cycle if there was a bike shelter, I think investing in a shelter would be beneficial and well utilised.  

     

    Children's Survey

     

    For question 1, most of you said Summer and Spring.

    On question 2, 80% of you do not currently cycle to school (WHAT)!

    For question 3, 66% of you would like to cycle to school!

    On question 4, 66% would cycle to school if there was a covered bike shelter.

    For question 5, 68% of you said your parents said your parents would let you cycle.

    On question 6, it was tight between 2,3 and 0 but 3 ended up having the most.

     

    In summary, an overwhelming percentage of people said they would cycle to school if there was a covered bike shelter. This means, we think investing in a bike shelter would be beneficial and would be well utilised.

    From your JRSO’S,

    Alex and Percy
