We enjoy meeting families again with a new and younger sibling- and for some of you parents it’s a return to Meriden where you came as a child! If for any reason you have not entered your child for school Nursery yet, do call us straight away to arrange a visit. The summer term has many events and visits going on. We are carrying on with a programme of visits to Meriden library with each class, which is proving very valuable. Years 4 and 5 are having cricket training from Warwickshire Cricket Board and taking part in a festival at the end to try out their newfound skills. Our Music evening is on Thurs 5 th June from 6-7.30pm when nearly every class will be performing as a showcase for all the music opportunities here in school. The Circus will be in town! Friday June 6th The PTA have arranged a Circus for our summer event. There are three showings at 4pm, 5.30pm and 7pm, and tickets are going fast. You are all very welcome to come- there will be some stalls and refreshments as well. If you are interested tickets are available from the school office- 01676 522488. ‘Healthy Week’ Mon 16 th – 20 th June Lots of activities are planned to make this an exciting and interesting week for the children. Are there any people out there in the village who would like to offer any involvement? Maybe you are St John’s Ambulance trained and would like to come and show the children what you do? Are you a nurse or dietician…or keen on exercise or simply someone with a couple of hours to spare to help? We want to give a wide variety of experiences to show the children ideas to live a healthy life. Our Junior Production will be on Wed 9 th and Thurs 10 th July ; there is as usual an open invitation to come along to the Dress rehearsal to you our village friends, on Tues 8 th July. Please ring school if you’d like to come along. There are rumours of devious spies and wartime nostalgia flying round school at the moment, so it sounds like a lot of fun! I hope to see you all at one of our events and wish you all a happy and healthy summer.

It comes, like All Things Bright and Beautiful, often asked for, from the happiness of childhood. Later, on a Sunday evening, we sang it at Bablake House with the ninety and hundred year olds. They didn’t know it but picked it up quickly and loved it! 1. Daisies are our silver, 4. God, who gave these treasures Buttercups our gold: To your children small, This is all the treasure Teach us how to love them We can have or hold. And grow like them all. 2. Raindrops are our diamonds 5. Make us bright as silver: And the morning dew; Make us good as gold; While for shining sapphires Warm as summer roses We've the speedwell blue. Let our hearts unfold. 3. These shall be our emeralds 6. Gay as leaves in April, Leaves so new and green; Clear as drops of dew Roses make the reddest God, who made the speedwell, Rubies ever seen. Keep us true to you. Jan Struther, 1901 -1953 Do you know what one of them said? She picked up the phrase ‘good as gold’. She said gold could not corrode and, in spite of a very slow and shaky ninety something year old body, expressed an assurance she had had from childhood that the eternal life Jesus had given her could not corrode. It was ‘good as gold’. I wouldn’t mock a child who saw diamonds in raindrops nor an old lady who saw eternity in Jesus. Michael Dawkins The Earl of Aylesford 1918 –2008 Former war hero and magistrate Charles Ian Finch-Knightley lived at Packington Old Hall, near Meriden, and owned a 5,000-acre estate including 11 tenanted farms, a golf course, deer park and trout and coarse fishery. In 1979, he and his family suffered a major setback when fire destroyed part of Packington Hall. Repairs cost about £l million, but the cause of the blaze was never established, although it was thought it could have been started by a workman's blowtorch. Born in November 1918, the earl was edu cated at Oundle in Northamptonshire and served in the Black Watch in the Second World War, gaining the rank of captain, and was wounded by friendly fire while in service in Sicily. Described by close friends as a true gentleman and with no airs o r graces who knew the real meaning of a hard day's work, he was concerned with the development of the com munity in and around Meriden throughout his life.

Forge Road Shustoke Near Coleshill Warwickshire B46 2AU Tel: 01675- 481319 Fax: 01675- 481029 03.10.2017 E-mail:[email protected] www.shustokecofeprimary.co.uk Dear Parents, Access & Organisation Building 3, Saltisford Office Park Ansell Way Warwick CV34 4UL Via E-mail: [email protected] Dear Sir/ Madam, Re: Consultation on the proposal to extend the age range and increase capacity at High Meadow Infant School. The schools in and around Coleshill have historically and increasingly worked extremely well together for the benefit of all the children in the community. There is mutual respect, and supportive relationships between Headteachers and Staff. Whilst we are delighted that other local schools are successful and expanding, we feel compelled to reinforce the impact that increasing school places in Coleshill by 30 per year could have on us at Shustoke C of E Primary School. Shustoke C of E Primary School is a highly effective rural school which offers a nurturing and family ethos and attracts children from a wide area. We have never fallen into an Ofsted category, we have consistently been rated Category A by the Local Authority, and have maintained high standards of achievement across the school year on year. Staff at Shustoke are recognised across Warwickshire for their high level of skills and expertise including staff being Local Authority Moderators and the Headteacher being a Local Leader of Education and member of the Warwickshire Education Challenge Board. We would urge you to consider and preserve the future of this popular and successful village school, and avoid it becoming a casualty to a short-sighted expansion programme.
