I can't believe that it is spring half term already! As always, it has been a very productive and busy term with so many special events. Once again, thank you for all your support towards your child's education and I hope the recent Learning Consultations have given you an insight into how your child is progressing. 

I have one little bit of homework for parents this half term (the pun is very much intended). Please spend some time completing our homework consultation. We are currently reviewing our homework policy and really want to gather the views of parents as to what homework should look like at Rodings. With parents having to supervise and support with homework, we want to put a system in place that works for families. The survey is short and should take no more than 5 minutes. 

The link to the survey is here: https://forms.gle/aZBgEbTP6DkgRDpp6

Have a lovely half term and see you all on Monday 23rd February. 

Mr Raraty

News from the Friends

First of all we would like to say a massive “thank you” to all the families who have offered to help with our uniform shed. We will be moving the shed very soon and hope to have it open for business by the Spring so will be back in touch with those of you who have offered to help. Having a regular uniform shop will help lots of families as well as raising funds for the school.

After a bit of a quiet first half term for the Friends we’ve got some exciting events coming up!

Raraty Bars – on sale now!

We are so excited to finally be able to announce our new competition! Raraty Bar (think Wonka bars without the copyright infringement) are on pre-sale via Arbor shop now! There are 12 money-can’t-buy prizes to be won. Bars will be handed out on World Book Day (5^th March) and prizes announced in assembly once all the Golden Tickets have been found.

Please order by Tuesday 3^rd March to avoid disappointment.
