Kingswood

go to Events for the latest news and photographs

I am pleased to be able to tell you that the Kingswood Centre is operating as normal. Postal and all other deliveries are fine. A school from Nottingham arrived yesterday and all activities are taking place. The coach company reports clear conditions and the roads around school will be generally free of traffic on Sunday. Please park in the school or church for safety. If any dads can bring a spade to clear the front path for Monday I would be most grateful. I have cleared around the school classrooms for our younger children. Plenty of socks a warm coat and a pair of boots or wellies. Looking forward to another great week of action and fun. (Honestly)

Severe Weather Closure

School will be closed on Friday 8th. We intend to open on Monday 11th January.

School will be closed on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th January 2010 due to severe weather conditions. The forecast suggests that the weather may improve on Friday however we shall make a decision at 4.00pm on Thursday and inform you accordingly. It is likely that school will be closed if Green Park kitchens are closed as we will be unable to provide hot dinners. Parentmail has proved to be most useful to those who have forwarded their contact details. School paths have been salted for Friday 8th January however we have used all our reserves. The roads and footpaths remain frozen and care must be taken.

Can I thank you on behalf of the Governors for you very positive responses to this situation and continued understanding and support. The safety of our children must remain a priority at all times.

School Breaks Record for Christmas Shoe Box Appeal

This Thursday 19th November 2009 the van arrived at school to collect the shoe boxes from our children. The van was already half full from other schools, however, the driver had to count the boxes again as he could not believe that so many were from th same primary school. The grand total this year was 157 boxes packed with goodies and gift sent with love from our children and their families. Thank you so much for your kindness. Together we do make a big difference to others less fortunate. Well done boys and girls you are all amazing.

Year 5 and 6 Football Tournaments Cancelled due to Poor Weather

The year 5 and 6 football tournaments for the boys and girls was unfortunately cancelled today, Friday 2nd October. The organisers phoned school to say that the weather was poor and the decision had been made to play the games on another day. The teams were disappointed but understood the reasons for the decision. I was able to take a few picture of both teams and I'm sure that you will agree that the girls look Absolutely Fabulous in their new kits. I think that even Patsy would like them.

Green Team Harvest Their First Crop

The boys and girls in the green team harvested their vegetables today, Thursday 1st October. This was their first harvest and they should be very pleased with their efforts. The 100% organic produce will be available to buy after school on Thursday and Friday in the bike shed area by the junior playground. All funds and donations will be doubled by me and then doubled by the Friends of St John Bosco so we hope to be able to buy more seeds and small vegatable plants.  Here they all are with their fantastic crop. Future developments that the children would like include a greenhouse  fruit trees and soft fruits as well as green beans and peas. Any help or offers will be most gratefully received. Once again well done boys and girls.
