Last night the ever popular sport of dodgeball made a triumphant return to the house competition circuit. Year 6 put it all on the line in the pursuit of fame, glory and an abundance of housepoints. The King Power stadium was filled to the brill with pupils showing a plethora of school values. The green machine of Hulk House dominated the night to emerge the grand undefeated victors with all houses showing super-human levels of determination, perseverance and honesty!

A fantastic night was had by all, well done to everyone who participated.

Following the sad news relating to the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Department for Education have announced that Schools will be closed on Monday September 19th.  This day will be a Bank Holiday to allow individuals, businesses and other organisations to pay their respects to Her Majesty and commemorate her reign, while marking the final day of the period of national mourning.  Therefore, school will close to pupils on Friday 16^th September at 3:10pm and Re-open on Tuesday 20^th September at 8:45am.

Pupils at Smith’s Wood are taught to understand British Values and Queen Elizabeth has, and will continue to be widely discussed in history, religious education and other curriculum areas in school.  In addition, pupils have received special assemblies designed to commemorate the Queen and have had the opportunity to participate in special activities to commemorate the Queen’s life. 

You will have noticed that the school flag has been lowered to half-mast during the period of mourning and the national anthem played as children entered school the day after her passing.  Following the state funeral on Monday, all staff have prepared resources that relate to bereavement through our PSHE curriculum and will be suitably equipped to respond to the needs of all children in school.

Thank you for your continued support.

Each week, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils can be recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons. 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.
