The kitchen will be serving a special themed lunch for the day:
We will all be having lunch outside in the playground, so all children can enjoy together.
Dear Parents/Carers,
At Horn Park we are constantly looking for ways to improve the provision on offer to both our children and their families. One of the ways we continue to strive towards this is through inviting feedback from the whole school community. We therefore encourage you to complete the parental questionnaire via the link below.
Please can you complete the online form https://forms.office.com/e/KxXC0bKpUh by Friday 5th May.
Dear Parents/Carers, Following on from my previous communication, I am writing to provide further details of the arrangements for the third and fourth day of NEU teacher strike action on Thursday 27th April and Tuesday 2nd May. Please look at this chart to see which classes are open or closed.
For those children in school, we aim to keep to the normal routines. Our kitchen will serve hot food and Alpha club will open as usual. You will be contacted by email if your child’s after school will be changed on these days. Year 6 booster sessions will be on as normal for the children who are in school. If your child is eligible for free school meals and you wish to access a hot school lunch, please click on link below and complete this form.
Whilst we are working closely with our staff union representatives, there may be circumstances where situations change with minimal notice. We are confident that those classes who we have identified as being open will do so. There may however be situations whereby a class which has been deemed to be closed is able to remain open. If this is the case, we will contact parents of children in that class at the earliest possible convenience on each day.
We appreciate that this situation will cause some difficulty for families and are sorry for the disruption it may cause. We remain committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our pupils and delivering high-quality teaching. Please bear in mind there is the possibility that agreements could be reached between national unions and government officials and strikes could be called off. In this case, school would be open for all children as normal. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Zoe Crosland Head Teacher
Our next open day tour will be on Tuesday 23rd May at 9am or 5pm

Children can come to school in their own clothes for a suggested £1 donation to the PFA (Parents & Friends Association)

This year, Red Nose Day will take place on Friday 17th March 2023.
Red Nose Day is a day celebrated for the UK charity ‘Comic Relief’ that has raised over £1 billion since it began in 1985. This Year, Horn Park are going to be joining thousands of people up and down the country and we are looking forward to fundraising as a school. On Friday 17th March, School Council will be fundraising in school and for a small donation of 50p, children are invited to come to school dressed in as much red as possible. This could mean anything from red t-shirts, wigs, red noses to red fancy dress! We are encouraging children by doing a best dressed competition in each year group.
Please complete the form below if you would like to apply for a place in one of our after school activity clubs for your child.
The clubs will run from week beginning 24th April 2023 until the week beginning 3rd July 2023. Please see below for prices and amount of sessions for each club.
The full amount must be paid via the My Child at School Website/App (Please see the school office if you need your invitation code resent).
The children will go straight to the club from their class room. Clubs will finish at 4.15pm.
Applications will close at 10am on Monday 20th March 2023. Emails will be sent confirming places before the clubs start.
As part of our continuing focus on how we work to best meet the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities and their families, we would like parental representatives from across our schools to have the opportunity to work with leaders to offer input on aspects of policy and practice. This would involve meeting at least three times a year, providing input on policy development as well as considering government guidance and research and how these impact on practice within our schools. If this is something you are interested in, please email a brief personal statement, explaining your experience and why you are interested in joining the group, to mbernard@compassps.uk
Children can come to school in their own clothes for a suggested £1 donation to the PFA (Parents & Friends Association) on Friday 10th February
We are really excited about this year’s World Book Day, which will be held at Horn Park on Friday 24th February 2023. Just like every year, we will enjoy the day by dressing up as our favourite book characters. If children have the book at home, it would also be great for them to bring it in to share with the class. Please remember that dressing up can be simple and fun - please click here for costume ideas. Reading will be celebrated across the entire week with lots of different activities, all of which will be shared on the school’s twitter account.
