Shenton Primary School

Dear Parents/Carers,

       At the end of this academic year, we can look back on many successes and many fun memories. It continues to be a privilege for me to see the children grow, mature and shine in so many different ways. Whether this is academically, through the arts and performance, or just from the genuine kindness the children show to each other. I feel blessed to be in a position where I get to see these moments every day as part of school life. I hope you feel very proud of your children, too. For our Y6 leavers, we wish you all the best for the future and hope you will revisit us in years to come.

      As we break for the summer, please stay safe and stay happy. We will reopen for the children on Tuesday 26th August, when we will look forward to welcoming you back. 

With warm regards,

Ms Gita

Stranger Danger

We know that many of your children will be playing out over the summer, so please take the opportunity to remind them about 'Stranger Danger'. As we live in a city, it is always a good idea to have someone responsible who can see and supervise the children appropriately if possible.

If your child does play out, there are some helpful suggestions below:

• Always make sure you know where your child will be playing, the name(s) of at least one person they are playing with and what time you expect them to come back inside.
• Tell them never to take sweets or gifts from strangers. They should say 'No' loudly and then leave.
• Tell them never to get into a car or go into a house with anyone. They should say 'No' loudly and then leave.
• Tell them that if anything frightens them they should either run straight home, or if a shop is nearer to go into the shop and ask for help.
