  • Pupils of the Week

    Published 11/09/26

    Each week, during our Friday Achievement assembly, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils are recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons and are nominated by their class teacher. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts. 
    During the assembly, we also celebrate children who have 100% attendance for the week and have been in school every day on time. A lucky dip, of all children who are eligible takes place, and one pupil walks away with £5 to spend on whatever they want, Standards and presentation of a child’s book, chosen at random, are also reviewed and celebrated with the school and the child, whose book has been chosen, has the chance to win a dip out of the basket of goodies, as long as they have used their best handwriting every day, completed their feed forward marking and taken care in the presentation of their date and learning objective. We are extremely proud of all of the efforts of our pupils and the Friday Achievement assembly recognises this pride. 

    Our weekly winners this week are:

    Caleb - 1EB

    Kairo - 2HS

    Haider - 2PW

    TJ - 3JC

    Amelia-Rae - 3KG

  • The End of a Fantastic Year!

    Published 17/07/26

    Dear Parents and Carers, 

    As we come to the end of another successful academic year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and partnership. This has been my first year as Principal of Smith's Wood Primary Academy, and it has been a privilege to lead such a wonderful school community. Smith's Wood truly lives up to its motto of being 'More Than a School'. Throughout the year, our pupils have achieved much to be proud of, both academically and through the wide range of enrichment opportunities that have supported their personal development. From educational visits, sporting events and performances to leadership opportunities, competitions and community projects, our children have embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and maturity. I am incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and grateful to our dedicated staff and supportive families who make these experiences possible. 

    I hope you and your families have a wonderful, restful summer break, and I look forward to welcoming our children back in September for another exciting year at Smith's Wood Primary Academy.

    Mrs N Damms

    Headteacher
