Headteachers Update 15th July 2022

Dear Parents, today you will receive your child’s end of year report. Having read them all, I know you will be proud of the progress your children have made this academic year. As always, we strive for more, to achieve this we will be agreeing targets with current teachers to enable the future teachers to hit the ground running with their new pupils. These targets will be distributed in September with your curriculum newsletters & timetables.

Alongside the reports, you will find a paper copy of our Hob Moor Oaks Holiday Scheme. As I explained in an earlier Parent Hub message, we have worked with a range of external providers in York and the surrounding area to provide exclusive sessions for our Hob Moor Oaks families. These sessions aim to give you the confidence to take your children to exciting and stimulating places in the summer, with the confidence to meet like minded families. I really encourage you to engage in these sessions as it will help us grow the offer in York over the next academic year. It’s the first year we’ve arranged this so let’s watch this space! I’ve visited the majority myself, they’re all great places and I know many of your children will love them. See electronic versions attached, but I know everyone loves a paper copy for the fridge door!

The plans are coming together for our Y6 leavers assembly, the tissues are ready!  I hope you’ve all got your ‘Oscars ready’ outfits sorted.

Heatwave— As per my Parent Hub message yesterday, we are preparing for exceptional temperatures in school on Monday and Tuesday, our building is hot on a sunny day let alone a heatwave. School remains open but if you feel your child will be at risk of high levels of dysregulation or ill-health (e.g. seizure activity) due to the extreme temperatures, I will authorise their absences as a home-learning day. Measures we will put into place in school are, ensuring ventilation is maximised, offering lots of opportunities to have drinks or stay hydrated, avoid vigorous physical activity, encourage children to wear sun hats. You will know if your child struggles to engage with any of the above.
