End
of Year /Year 6 Leavers Assembly
A reminder that our annual End of Year and
Year 6 Leavers Assembly takes place tomorrow morning at 09:00am. All Welcome!
We said our farewells to members of staff who are leaving in our assembly
yesterday and our focus tomorrow will be on Year 6.
A
message from Mrs Turner
I would like to convey a huge ‘Thank you’
to everyone at and connected to Stadhampton School for all your warm comments,
messages and cards and your very generous gifts! I will enjoy spending time in
John Lewis choosing something special as a memento of my time here. I am proud
of all the achievements of pupils and staff over the years and know that there
is a strong staff team to continue the success of the school under the
leadership of Emma Charnock. I wish you all well in the future and a very happy
Summer Holiday!
Staff
Changes
We wish Mrs Turner, Mrs Garrard and Mrs Manzie
a long and happy retirement as they leave Stadhampton School on Friday. We are
also saying ‘Goodbye’ to Mrs Kerbey, Madame Church and Mrs Wilkin. They will be
missed by us all – staff, pupils and parents alike – but we suspect that we
shall still see them from time to time!
We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs
James and Mrs Bartlett – we really appreciate how well you have fitted into
teaching in our school and your commitment to us will be missed by us all.
We are pleased to announce that Mrs
Mason-Cook has been appointed as our new School Administrator from the start of
the new academic year which begins on Wednesday 5 September. We are also
delighted to have Mrs Wahid back in school and wish her well teaching in Class
2 next year.
Thank
You
A huge thank you to the parents and
grandparents who have volunteered this year in school especially by hearing
children read and helping with Forest School sessions. We really appreciate
your help.
Thank you to Mr and Mrs Burnell and Mrs
Green for running a very popular gardening club for us again this year.
Thank you to Melanie Gravett and everyone
on the PTA committee who have worked so hard to continue to fundraise to
provide additional resources and treats for our pupils.
Year 6 Leavers
We say a fond farewell to our Year 6 pupils
as they leave Stadhampton School on Friday. We are very proud of you all; you
have contributed to the life of Stadhampton School and have achieved so many
things, academic and non-academic, during your time with us. We will miss you
all but know that you are ready for the next stage of your learning journey and
wish you every success at your secondary schools, which this year are Icknield
Community College, The Dragon School, Didcot Girls and St Birinus. We hope you will
all keep in touch.
We
also say goodbye to Noah, Grace and Rosa and wish them every success in their
new schools.
Sports Evening
Congratulations to everyone on a very successful Sports
Evening! Thank you to Mrs Manzie and other school staff for organising the
races so well and to Mr Manzie and Mr Jones for helping on the bar. Thank you
to the BBQ team of Mr Rayner, Mrs Bradford, Mrs Batemen and to Mr Holmes for
organising the loan of the BBQ. Thank you to the PTA for purchasing the burgers
and hot dogs and the drinks and for all the clearing up at the end of the
evening. Thank you to past pupils and to Mr Gravett for their help with the
scoreboard and giving out stickers. A great team effort!
PTA THANK YOU!
As we near the end of the school year, we wanted to say a
huge thank you to everyone who has volunteered, donated, baked, tidied up and
supported our PTA events and activities this school year. Sports Night last
week raised over £500 and with the end of term disco still to come, we will
have raised over £4,000 this year with that money going back into school
to buy resources and experiences for the benefit of all children.
As we’re sure you know, school funding and
falling budgets are hot topics at the moment. Every last penny the PTA raises
goes directly back to school to help ease that squeeze. There are many ways you
can offer your support and talents to help with PTA activities and
raise as much money as we can for the children - if anyone would like to
get involved in any way, shape or form, please do come along to our AGM on 2nd
October.
We
hope everyone has a great summer!

Stadhampton
Parish Council declares a Climate Emergency
Parish
councillors voted unanimously to pass a motion to declare a climate emergency
at their meeting on 2 July. After hearing from Oxford-based climate change
scientist Rachael Treharne about the compelling scientific evidence for urgent
action at every level of society, the Parish Council has decided to follow
the lead set by SODC, Oxfordshire County Council and the UK Parliament to
declare an emergency. The council will now set up a working group to look at
ways in which that declaration might be translated into meaningful action at a
local level, and would warmly welcome the involvement of anyone who would like
to join this group. For more information, please email Catherine Odell: cllrcatherineodell@stadhampton.orgCome and join the AGC squad girls having fun
