You should have received your child’s annual report this week. Please contact your child’s teacher if you’d like to discuss the report – your questions, comments and concerns are important.
This week’s message has a few repeats of previous messages so you’re prepared…
Themed week: Being Healthy
Next week is the second of two themed weeks in the year. Here are a few reminders.
- Children should wear PE kit throughout the week, but please make sure it follows our Uniform Policy:
- Travel actively to school! For the chance to win a book voucher, send your photos to scholesoffice@spherefederation.org by Thursday 10 July.
- At 3.00pm on Thursday 10 July, a d:side representative will be in the front playground ready to answer any questions you might have about the drug education sessions taking place for all classes.
- Friday 11 July is our Sports Day: our Sports Roundabout for Reception and Key Stage 1 at 9.15am-10.30am, and competitive sports for children in Key Stage 2 at 1.15 – 3.15pm.
- Pupils have an online health questionnaire at home for their homework.
To help us continue with themed weeks such as this, we’re asking for a small contribution: £2 per pupil (Gateway) will help us to pay for visitors for themed weeks. Visitors include LS-TEN skateboarding, Flex Dance and d:side. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far.
Production
Don’t forget our Key Stage 2 Summer production next week, too. There are three performances:
- Tuesday at 6.00pm
- Wednesday at 1.45pm
- Wednesday at 6.00pm
Classes for next year
On Wednesday, your child met their new teacher and spent some time with their new class.
We’ve got a few changes to our staffing structure for next year as we say goodbye and welcome back to some Sphere Federation staff.
After ten years at Scholes (Elmet) Primary, Miss Parling is leaving to take on a new challenge. We’re all envious of her intent to travel. We’ll also be sad to say goodbye to Miss Gilliland but she’s not travelling as far as she is heading over to St James’ CE Primary to teach.
We’re welcoming back from maternity leave Mrs Paterson. After Christmas we’ll also welcome back Miss Iveson. Mrs Lake is also joining us from Moortown Primary. Mrs Lake worked with us a few years ago – it will be great to see her back.
The school will be organised as below:
Early Years
- Nursery: Mrs Beesley
- Reception Sunshine: Mrs Brown (4 days), Mrs Allen-Kelly (1 day); after Christmas, Mrs Brown (4 days), Mrs Wilkins (1 day)
- Reception Rainbow: Mrs Long (3 days), Mrs Allen-Kelly (3 days)
Key Stage 1

That’s all for this week. Before we end, here’s an idea if there’s a summer birthday in your household…
Herd Farm is a council-run activity centre offering a range of outdoor activities and pursuits for both adults and children. They’ve recently launched a Birthday Adventure Offer which they’re trialling during the summer holidays. Interested? Check out this video clip.
