Summer 2025 - Issue 18


Dear Families,


As another school year draws to a close, I’d like to thank everyone—students, staff, and families—for the part you’ve played in making it such a memorable one.


There’s been a real sense of energy and progress throughout the year, from classroom achievements and creative events to sporting success and personal growth. It’s been a joy to see our school community come together, support one another, and create an environment where learning and character thrive.


To our students: well done for the hard work, enthusiasm, and kindness you’ve shown. To our staff: thank you for your dedication and tireless efforts behind the scenes and at the forefront. And to our families: your encouragement and support remain invaluable.


I hope the summer brings time to relax, recharge, and enjoy simple moments with family and friends. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September—refreshed and ready for the adventures ahead.


Wishing you all a safe and happy summer break!


Mrs Richards

 

Good luck Year 6!


Your primary school days are ending

What a journey it has been

Years of friendship, fun and learning

And a few months of quarantine

 

Sports Day, summer fetes, trips

Nativities and plays

School adventures have brought

You so many fun-packed days

 

Year 6 has arrived so quickly

But we wanted you to know

We’ve really enjoyed teaching you

And loved watching you grow

 

Keep on dreaming and you can be

Anything you want to be

And remember, you will always be a

Part of our primary school family

Summer asthma tips for parents and carers


As the school term ends and summer begins, it's important to stay on top of your child’s asthma care during the holidays.

Asthma is a common lung condition that affects around 1 in 11 children, causing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness. While each child is different, asthma can usually be well managed by taking a preventer inhaler daily, even when symptoms seem to have disappeared. A reliever inhaler (usually blue) should also be kept on hand in case of flare-ups.

Every year, there is a rise in asthma attacks when children return to school in September- often due to breaks in their usual routine over the summer. By following your child’s asthma action plan and continuing their prescribed treatment, you can help reduce this risk and keep them well throughout the holidays.

Key summer asthma tips:

• stick to daily preventer medication

• always keep a reliever inhaler with your child

• follow their personal asthma action plan

• don’t delay if symptoms worsen – always seek advice.

Now is also a great time to book your child’s annual asthma review with your local GP practice to help keep their asthma under control ahead of the new school year in September.

The NHS has created a video with a Black Country respiratory nurse discussing the importance of keeping of top of your child’s asthma over the summer holidays. You can watch the video on YouTube here.


For more information on how to manage your child’s asthma, visit the Black Country 0-18 website.
