School Update

September saw an exciting transition for Frenchay Primary School. At the start of the term we welcomed 20 new pupils to the school along with our new reception children. This was the first time we began working in single age group classes, rather than the traditional mixed age classes we had previously known. The new children have settled in well and are going to be a real asset to the school. It is lovely seeing our children being so welcoming and friendly, helping the new children to become familiar with how life in the school works.

In November we have two events which we are very much looking forward to. To start off the new term we are excited to be welcoming Bishop Viv to the school, to officially open it with a blessing and helping us to plant a tulip tree which we hope will grow health and strong, providing valuable shade in years to come.

We are also planning an Open Afternoon when the children have gone home. This will be a chance for those of you who live in the area to come and visit the new school for a tour. I am sure you have been avidly watching the progress of the building over the last year and it would be lovely to welcome you inside to take a peak behind the closed doors of the first Passivhaus school in South Glos and the Bristol Diocese. This will be held at 3.45pm on Wednesday 9 th November.
