General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Regulations

1995 data protection directive, which current UK law is based upon. The new

Privacy
Notice
To comply with the new regulations we have
to provide parents with a new Privacy Notice which details the categories of information
we hold about pupils, the legal basis for collecting information, who we share
it with eg, Department for Education (DfE) and the LA, and why there is a need
to share information. A copy of our new Privacy Notice is attached to this
newsletter and has also been uploaded to the school website.
Parental
Consent Forms
We recently sent home permission forms for
parents to complete in order to provide us with the necessary consent needed to
comply with the new regulations for Copyright Permission, Internet Access,
Photographs, Sex Education, Data Exchange and local School Visits. Also the
form contained an agreement which allows us to continue to send the School
Newsletter by e-mail. Thank you to the vast majority of parents who have signed
the forms and returned them to us. We would be grateful for other families to
please sign and return these forms as soon as possible. Please let us know if
for any reason you feel unable to provide consent for the items mentioned on
the form or you have mislaid your form. Thank you.

Book

Thank you to everyone who purchased books

of commission once the final totals have been confirmed.
Partnership
Swimming Gala
Our annual partnership swimming gala between
ourselves, Chalgrove, Ewelme, Lewknor and RAF Benson schools, was held at Thame
pool on Tuesday. The Stadhampton swimming team of; Billy, Issy, Sam, Olivia, Lorenzo,
Albie, Jem, Archie, Elizabeth, Ella, Isabel and May were magnificent and were
the winning team!! Fantastic news and congratulations to all! Mrs Singleton,
who accompanied them, said they were a real credit to themselves and to our
school. Great news!
Quad
Kids
On Thursday morning a group of our Year 3
and 4 children braved the rain to represent Stadhampton at the partnership Quadkids
event at Chalgrove School. After competing in four events - a sprint, long run,
long jump and vortex throw, the points were added together and we won! A very
big well done to all who took part; the girls team were Bella, Mia, Morgan and
Cianna and the boys team Casey, Peter, Harvey and Freddie. Thank you to all who
supported the children either by transporting them to the event or being there
during the morning.
Class
3’s Visit to Ewelme Park.
On Wednesday, Class 3 went to
Ewelme Park for an educational trip about the estate and its history. We were
amazed to learn how Henry VIII had hunted on the grounds and that real Roman
coins were found under a horse-chestnut tree there! We had a tour of the farm
on foot and then on a trailer pulled by a tractor. We also learnt about birds
of prey, some of which are: merlins (which are part of the falcon family),
kestrels (which are also part of the falcon family) and owls. We saw three
types of owl: the barn owl, little owl and the tawny owl. The last bird that we
saw was the guardian of the Tower of London - the raven. Last but not least, we
went to an enormous pond where we found newts, pond spiders (which some of us
didn’t enjoy!), tadpoles, pond skaters and slugs. We really enjoyed our day and
were very grateful for our invite!
Congratulations
to Stadhampton Ex-Pupils
We are pleased to congratulate our
ex-pupils who, we understand, have gained success in securing key roles from
September; Abby is going to be Head Girl, Thea and Ella will be senior prefects
and Owen and Lola will be prefects. We know there is a lot of tough competition
for these roles and would like to congratulate them all.
Advance
notice - School Photographs!
We have decided to trial a company called
Fishpole for school photographs this year. Their website is www.fishpolephotography.co.uk
and they are a local company based in Thame. Their approach is different –“a
child-focused, relaxed method which engages each individual.” Wherever possible
(weather permitting) their photographs are taken outdoors in the school
grounds.
We have asked this company to take Year Group photographs for the first
time this year as an experiment to see whether this is something that parents
would like to purchase. The year group photographs will be taken on Thursday 14 June and the usual individual
photographs, photographs of siblings, etc will be taken on Friday 21 September.
Please let Mrs Hopkins know if for any
reason, you do not want your child to be included.
After
School Clubs
Many pupils have enjoyed the after school
cookery, karate and multisports clubs this term. We are very grateful to Mr
Ventham, Mr King and Mr Berry for running them for us.
Next term the same group of pupils will
continue in their karate club and there are opportunities for pupils in
Reception –Y6 to join the Multisports ASC and for pupils aged 8 or over to join
the Archery ASC. Letters for sign up to these clubs, detailing the cost, dates
and times were sent home to pupils earlier this week.

change of the tadpoles. We also watched our broad beans grow roots and learned
how to take care of plants and how plants need sunlight to grow.
The
Little Bears are looking forward to our pedal push on Friday pm. We are going
to count how many times we can race round our garden pushing or peddling.
Friday
15 June 7.30-11.30 sees the return of the Ladies Supper Night. Please see
Debbie to order your ticket priced at £12 for a two course meal.
