News Atwood Primary School

As part of our continued commitment to reading and phonics, we were delighted to take delivery this week of even more books to support the delivery of our Little Wandle Phonics programme. 

In the Early Years we look at the world around us a lot and explore similarities, differences and change. 

On Monday this week, a selection of Year 5 and 6 pupils represented the school at the Croydon’s prestigious interschool cross country competition. 

We are always very interested in what parents tell us via the parental questionnaire that we undertake each year. 

It has been another busy week of learning at Atwood. YEAR GROUP BY YEAR GROUP Our Nursery and Reception children have been busy outside enjoying the sunshine and you can read more about their week on our website here.

In the Early Years, children have been enjoying the unexpected good weather and have spent a lot of time outside. 

Everybody has been busy this September in the Early Years getting to know all of the new children and helping them feel safe and happy at school.

It was lovely to see Atwood come alive today with a splash of colour as we held a mufti day in aid of the AT Society. 

This week at Atwood a group of Year 5 children are being put through their paces on their bikes. 

As ever, there has been lots going on at Atwood. Year group by year group Our Reception children have started attending for full days and have been getting to grips with lunchtimes, playtimes and spending longer in school. 

This week, Year 6 have been on a fantastic adventure.  They set off on Monday to Stubbers Adventure Centre for a week of activities and fun. 

It has been another busy week at Atwood. After the corridors being empty last week, it is great to walk through the Early Years and hear the chatter and buzz of children in the classrooms. 

One of our Year 3 pupils was busy through the summer on an inspiring fundraising mission.

Welcome back! What a lovely week to start the term and my time at Atwood. 

Parents and carers will have become aware of the current issue with some schools in the UK that have buildings made of RAAC – Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete.
