We are ambitious for our pupils. We believe in high expectations and tenacious attitudes leading to a full range of career and life opportunities beyond school.
In PSHE, Saltmoor discussed bereavement and loss. We were incredibly mature and listened to Michael Rosen’s Sad Book. It really helped us to understand the feeling of sadness and ways we can support ourselves and others. Thank you,

Whilst we put everything together for the next few weeks, school will be closed to all children tomorrow. We will be sending out lots of information tomorrow so please do check your emails. Thank you in advance for your support. Stay safe everyone.
In Aller we have been listening to The Duchess of Cambridge’s assembly all about kindness. We have thought very carefully about what we can do to ensure we are kind in our day to day lives.

Kingsmoor pupils are studying their author of the half term: poet, Rachel Rooney.

@RooneyRachel
We have laughed out loud at her poems from A Kid in my Class and spotted several traits of our own in her characters!
An update about pack delivery, food and the keyworker place survey. A detailed letter will be coming out later today so do check your emails.
And, a thank you for all of the supportive messages and offers of help. It’s what’s keeping us going!
I wish I could sufficiently express how awesome my team is. Not a grumble, only offers of help, not a mention of fatigue, only smiles, not a moan about lack of notice, only thoughts and actions directed towards the children and their education. Chapeau to you all!
Mrs DD
Today we saw 84% of you during the pack collection. Thank you for your kind words and support. We believe that at times like these, people show their true colours. We saw lots of bright and shiny people today!
Thank you seems inadequate for the team who, exhausted from two years of consistently reaching for the stars whilst holding every little hand and absolutely smashing the inspection, were dedicated to completing everything to the highest standard to the very last minute. Respect x
Parrett Class had the best afternoon learning from a wonderful paramedic, Shaun. We got to explore his ambulance and we had some of our questions answered about how he helps in our community. Thank you, Shaun! 🚑

, March 2020. Thank you to parents at today's meeting and for supporting the journey. Our report states 'aspirations for pupils are evident in the school’s values and ambitious curriculum'. Well done all!
This is a summary of our plan to expand the opening of our school from lockdown. We won’t be able to confirm if we are opening until nearer to the government dates so please bear with us. We are working hard for the best outcomes for our children. Mrs Doughty Davis
I’m thrilled to announce that we were in the top 5% nationally for our phonics.
Thank you to parents, staff and volunteer readers for supporting this work.
Well done to Mrs Pengelly and Miss Gosling (in her first teaching year) for this great work!

We had a walking tour of Westminster this morning. We had a quick stop at the souvenir stand, admired the Cenotaph and memorial to women in war, before meeting the horse guards.

What a great finale to the term.
The children made their Christingles and then we came together as a school one last time before the break.
Happy Christmas everyone!
See you in 2023!

Thank you so much to The Little Bakery in Langport for their kind donation of this beautiful bread wheat sheaf. It took pride of place in our harvest assembly.

Thank you to everyone who came today. Wasn’t the work brilliant!
Well done to our fantastic Year 6 who have been working on their enterprise skills. We’ll announce their successes once the treasurers have submitted their reports.

What a bunch of superstars we have taught this year in Parrett Class. They have met the challenges of their first year at school head on, with smiles on their faces. A special golden ticket for each of them. The Parrett Team are so proud of them.

Thank you to everyone for collecting packs today, 178 were collected!
We have put a class links document on the website for each week so you can copy and paste long links or just click on them. This should save lots of time and be much easier.
It was so good to see you all!
Hi all, just wanted to share that I have passed my first OpenLearn course with the Open University. Keep working hard everyone!

We’re fortunate to have air con in some of the classrooms and lovely high ceilings in the rest.
Nevertheless, we took the opportunity to have a treat on the field as it has cooled down nicely 🍉
Hi Parrett Class! 👋 Hope you’ve had a wonderful day learning at home. I’ve seen many of you busy baking delicious cakes with your loved ones so I have decided to get into the kitchen myself (with a great assistant by my side). 😉 Miss you all! Mrs Vogel

With the greatest respect for yesterday's news, we will continue with our usual routine and plans for today including our visit for Years 1, 2 and 3.
We strive to live up to the example of Queen Elizabeth II. May she rest in peace.
Hello Parrett Class and all of HEPS! 👋 Wishing everyone a wonderful last day of the school year tomorrow - whether it be from school or your home! Keep safe and enjoy your summer! Missing you all! ☀️🌈🇺🇸 - Mrs Vogel

A very public thank you to my amazing team who are constantly striving to give each and every child and their family the best school experience. It was great to see everyone together and humbling to hear what some had to say. You are fab-u-lous! Enjoy your well earned break x
🎄 An answer to the question some of you are asking. We will not be closing on Friday 18th December. We will welcome the children back on Tuesday 5th January🎄
Thank you for the fantastic job you have all been doing. We will be opening the school to Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 on Monday to continue your good work. An email will follow later today with more information for all children. Thank you for your support. Mrs Doughty Davis
In line with government advice, we will be closing the school on Friday at the end of the day; more details to follow when we have them. We are keeping a usual routine up until then with clubs, breakfast club and Busy Bees. All of our amazing staff are well and in school.
And the last piece of the jigsaw! Please keep to the clouds, children need to be with their adults at all times and please don’t touch any surfaces. I can’t wait to see you all on Friday! (3/3)
Miss Knight, Mrs Kenchington and Mrs Doughty Davis all qualified through this fantastic teacher training centre. Ever thought of taking the plunge?
@somersetSCITT
Wishing you all a very ‘Happy Christmas’ from Sedgemoor. Many fabulous Christmas jumpers on display this morning! Here we are celebrating our fabulous attendance for this term.
Thank you to everyone who supported our Carol Service this morning. Our children made us very proud.
We have the Christingle Service this afternoon before we send everyone on their way for a restful festive break.

We are so grateful in Parrett Class for all of the wonderful grown ups in our community that are volunteering to come in and share how they help and the importance of their jobs. Today we loved hearing about lifeguards. Thank you, Charlotte!

We are thrilled to announce that we have been placed 17th out of over 300 Somerset schools for KS2 results in 2023! This is alongside a broad and balanced curriculum.
Let your friends and family know if they have a child due to start school this year.
We have renamed the community room the ‘Coronation Room’.
To help us celebrate, we are honoured to have received a message from an ex-pupil and winner of the Great British Menu, South-West, Nick Beardshaw.
Thank you

Haymoor have been learning a reciting some firework poems all week! We were superstars this afternoon when we preformed them to the whole school in our poetry assembly! You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves, as I know I am!

have a great team who are all experts in their areas and will keep our school going. Three cheers for our great office staff, premises team, lunchtime staff, TAs & before/after school staff as well 👏
There they go!
Our fantastic Y6 children are heading to London for an action packed educational visit.
It was an early start but their high energy and enthusiasm was definitely on show.
Make us proud!

Yay! Book bags should be used from Monday for all year groups! Please use them for planners, books, lunches, snacks and drinks. Please check your child’s bag daily so nothing else comes into school. Please only use a book bag except for swimming where a backpack is ideal.
