Talent Show Auditions - will be held on Monday and Tuesday on the return to school.

Yr 4 Sleepover Reminder - please complete survey on Spider
 
Mill Lane Playground - we are delighted to be working in partnership with the Parish Council to help design and develop the play area at Mill Lane. The Parish Council is very keen to hear the views of local families and would greatly appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete the short survey. Your feedback will also help provide valuable evidence when applying for funding grants.
On Friday 5th June, families are invited to come into school at 2.00pm to view the proposed development plans and ideas, and to share any suggestions, thoughts, and feedback. We would love as many families as possible to attend and support this exciting project.
Families in the community who are not linked to school and members of the public will be welcome to visit between 3.30 pm-4 pm.
 
Family sharing will begin afterwards at:
  • 2.30pm for families with two or more children
  • 2.45pm for families with one child
Thank you for your continued support.

REMINDERS!!!!

UNIFORM ORDERS to be received by Monday 1st June - payment MUST be accompanied by order form.

Please keep up to date with payments - whether it's dinner money or PGL.  Thank you.

Please ensure your child has a named coat or waterproof in school for break times - we do like to get outside even if it's a bit drizzly.

Earrings must be removed for PE lessons.  Please check the uniform policy to ensure the correct earrings are being worn.

Please ensure anything brought into school is labelled.  Look out for lost property on the lunchbox trolley each evening.

Muddy Shoes - If your child has a spare change of shoes they can change into for playtimes this would help to keep our classrooms clean.  Alternatively, plimsols for indoors and outdoor shoes for play. Thank you as always for your support.

Squirrels: stem & leaves

Woodpeckers: were & where

Bentley School's Christian Ethos

"Know that I am with you always," Matthew 28:20 We encourage the spiritual, social, moral and cultural development of the school family by embedding Christian values into everyday life. Our vision is for all children to be confident individuals, successful learners and responsible citizens who are well equipped for future life, knowing that God is with them always.
