Enormous thanks to the staff team who took Year 6 on their residential and made sure they had an unforgettable experience. If you haven’t seen the blog it’s well worth a read; Mr Cadman should take up a career in travel writing, Ernest Hemmingway has nothing on him! https://stmarysceprimaryyear6france2019.school.blog Summer Fair With the weather forecast on our side, we hope to see as many of you as possible at this event, which is one of the highlights of our year. The Deputy Mayor, Councillor James Chard will officially open the fair at 11:00 am. During his visit, Cllr Chard will also tour the school and have the chance to chat to families; I am sure he will leave feeling the warmth of the St Mary’s school community. Parent survey results Thank you to the 67 parents who took part in our recent survey, over 160 of you had already completed the “Parent view survey” this year. I asked parents to include their names so that I can respond personally to those of you with specific concerns or questions. Below is a summary of the results. Of those parents that responded: 100% feel their children are safe at school 98% feel their children are happy at school 97% feel the school’s values and attitudes have a positive effect on their children 97% feel pupils are encouraged to develop a clear sense of right and wrong and behave well 94% feel there is a positive relationship between parents and the school 94% feel the school is well led and managed Here are some positive comments and “room for improvement” comments received. Special thanks to Mr Flintstone in “Bedrock” class for his response! 1 St Mary’s Church of England School Infants: Middle: Juniors: Amyand Park Road Strafford Road Richmond Road Twickenham Twickenham Twickenham TW1 3HE TW1 3AD TW1 3BA T: 0208 892 5840 T: 0208 249 6836 T: 0208 892 7849 F: 0208 891 1904 F: 0208 607 0420 E: [email protected] www.st-marys.richmond.sch.uk “I can't put into enough words how fantastic St. Mary's is for both my children. They are nurtured and encouraged and are developing not only academically but emotionally too, it's a delight and a relief to watch this play out. We are very well informed and included as parents and feel a warm and approach ability from the staff that is the envy of friends and family who have children at different schools. I can't recommend St. Mary's enough!” “Behaviour systems, looked after when feeling unwell or injured, general caring ethos and atmosphere, respect for elders and one another, listening to parents' feedback, two great teachers for both my children this year, listening when my youngest son was diagnosed with dyslexia and doing all within their funds to help. The awareness and striving for environmental changes in light of climate change.” “Inclusion, emphasis on kindness and tolerance” “The school is organised and communicates well with parents. The play areas / facilities available to the children are excellent. The children are given the opportunity to attend a wide variety of school trips and extracurricular activities. The school's PTA are a real strength, raising significant funds which greatly benefit the school and help us parents to be more involved in school life. Leadership team, teaching staff, support staff, resources, all round exceptional quality of education from a school that cares.” “In a perfect world it would be good to have more clubs available on all sites but I understand how difficult that is.” “More funding from LA, and expand provision of wraparound care.” “Wider range of competitive sports available for pupils and/or larger squads for key sports. More arts available e.g. concerts and / or productions.” “Reinforcing that the School has high expectations to do well. More homework, and expectations they do the harder questions.” “Retention of excellent staff.” “More music, drama and arts and sports.” “More homework more clubs and inviting parents to help run these more sports.” “I'm concerned about the level of traffic outside the 'Doves' entrance on the Infant site. A cross walk is needed there. Not sure what needs to be done in order to get one put there. Lots of parents and children cross the road to go to Waitrose and drivers along that route are routinely going more than 20mph.” 2 St Mary’s Church of England School Infants: Middle: Juniors: Amyand Park Road Strafford Road Richmond Road Twickenham Twickenham Twickenham TW1 3HE TW1 3AD TW1 3BA T: 0208 892 5840 T: 0208 249 6836 T: 0208 892 7849 F: 0208 891 1904 F: 0208 607 0420 E: [email protected] www.st-marys.richmond.sch.uk A note from Mrs Johnston All three sites will be participating in Healthy Schools’ Week from 17th - 21st of June. At St Mary’s we will be promoting healthy eating and each year group will be involved in a variety of exciting activities. Class teachers will be facilitating the preparation of a healthy snack in class. All food preparation will take into consideration any allergies and intolerances to ensure all children can be fully involved.

Thank you for your on-going support this year with providing the children’s healthy snacks and lunches.

Charitable donations A group of 29 boys from Hampton School are going to Malawi to continue the school’s work at the Hampton School Safe Haven and School in Senga Bay, Malawi. Mrs Freer’s son, Ben, an ex-St Mary’s pupil, is going this year and is hoping to take a big bag of donations to the children in the Safe Haven. If you have any of the following going spare, please could you drop them into any of the school sites and Mrs Freer will collect them: football boots (sizes 5-11), football kit, jewellery making equipment, paint brushes and rollers and reading books for their Primary school library (no books about witches and wizards please). Thank you! A note from Peter Wilson Moormead Community & Sports Pavilion (charity number 1179951) is working to transform the current eyesore into a new facility that will enhance our beautiful park and can be enjoyed by the whole community.

We do lots of camping, walking, canoeing, cycling, Plogging, and more and there is plenty of scope to introduce subjects where you have a personal interest - the list of badges is almost endless! Ask any of the leaders & they’ll tell you it’s a tremendously rewarding role with plenty of opportunities to take part in fun activities as well as knowing you’re making a big contribution to our young people. The treasurer role requires a couple of hours per month & four meetings a year & can be done by anyone with book keeping or accounting experience. There may be a role here which suits a parent or grandparent, and remember that our Scout group is oversubscribed & taking on any of these roles guarantees your child a space.

Born in Dublin in 1714 she began her career as a street singer. At the age of 10 she made her stage debut in a Juvenile production of ‘the Beggars Opera’. She made her name in Ireland as Ophelia in a 1737 production of Hamlet and came to London in 1740. Here she was an immediate success. One of her most celebrated roles was as Sir Harry Wilder, at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. She caused quite a stir in this part by wearing breeches. Beautiful and celebrated, she met and fell in love with the actor David Garrick who was living in Hampton and they planned to marry. For whatever reason she left him in 1744 and moved to Teddington.

  • Cllr Millard: Hello and Welcome to Talk Richmond. I'm Your Host, Jim Millard, and This Is Episode 6
    Official Cllr Millard: Hello and welcome to Talk Richmond. I'm your host, Jim Millard, and this is Episode 6. As an actor and writer, today's topic is close to my heart. We will be talking about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the arts sector in the borough. I'm very pleased to be joined by Paul Miller, the Artistic Director at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond and Lesley Bossine, the Art Centre Manager at the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington. Welcome both. Just for a bit of background, we all know the arts sector is a hugely valuable part of Britain, not just for our economy but for our national cultural life - it's one of our proudest exports to the entire globe. But it’s suffered hugely - most workers, for example artists, musicians, directors, technicians, ticket sellers, stage management, and more - had their livelihoods taken away from them over the space of a few hours back in March. The situation is especially serious for the Performing Arts because obviously theatre and other things rely on lots of people coming together and social distancing rules mean that the few venues that have been able to reopen have had to reopen with massively reduced capacity. It's made some significant problems for the sector and there are some very treasured institutions that are under threat, and it's very important for us to talk to them. So, thank you both for joining us today and Lesley looking at the landmark Art Centre first, what we all immediate concerns when the lock down was announced? Lesley: Well, I think my immediate concern was how long we would be able to survive without earning any income.
