This is where you will find all of the information that will keep you up to date with our latest events!
The first day back to school for the children is Tuesday 6th September.
During the first week of term we will be exploring the theme of welcome as we embrace being in a new year group and to help build upon everything we have learnt this year through our School of Sanctuary and community work.
We are saying farewell to our Year 6 children- the Class of 2022. The children are very talented, resilient, resourceful and enthusiastic- we are thrilled with the progress and personal development they have made during their journey through Earlsdon primary. We will miss each and everyone of the them but know that they are moving on to brilliant secondary schools where they will flourish and embrace new opportunities. Good luck Year 6 and thank you for the wonderful memories you have left with us.
We are delighted to be able to share the beautiful artwork of Bella from Year 1, which can now be enjoyed on the Royal Academy website.

A HUGE thank you for your support and votes for the Bottle Top Competition. Unfortunately on this occasion we didn't win but were thrilled to be in the final top ten designs in this national competition; a huge congratulations to the winning school on their beautiful design. We are delighted to inform you that Composite Prime have decided to present Earlsdon primary with a 'People's Choice Award' plaque for our sensory garden and vouchers that we can use to buy things for our Eco-Team in the future to acknowledge the number of votes that we got as a school. We are thrilled with our design, the sensory garden and the overwhelming community support that we have had. Thank you.
School meals
Thank you to the parents and children who have provide useful feedback on how they would like to see our school lunches improve. As you are aware we are delighted to have welcomed Ravinder Kumar to our school. Mr Kumar is a very experienced chef and is looking forward to developing our school lunches as our catering manager. He has developed new menus for the new term and these will be shared with parents shortly. We are excited about this development in school and look forward to seeing many more children enjoying a variety of hot, healthy and appetising meals at lunch time.
Mid morning snacks
The children in Reception - Year 2 benefit from having access to fresh fruit in school each day thanks to the government funded 'Fruit in School' scheme; there is no need for parents to provide a snack for the children.
If your son/ daughter will be in Year 3- Year 6 and you would like to provide a mid morning snack for them to eat at playtime, please ensure that this is a healthy option e.g. a piece of fruit or a fruit bar, rather than crisps or biscuits. Thank you for your support.
There will be no significant changes to the morning and afternoon routines.
When the new Reception children start school they will enter and leave school through their outdoor classroom by the school canteen.
Routines for children attending Breakfast and After School club will remain the same- the children should be dropped off and collected from the school gate in the car park side of the building.
Class teachers in Year 1 - Year 6 will be holding welcome meetings for parents to introduce themselves and to explain some routines and curriculum information to parents. These meetings will be held using Microsoft Teams and invites will be sent out at the beginning of the new school year. The dates of year group meeting is listed below.
Year 1 Tuesday 13th September at 3.45pm
Year 2 Wednesday 14th September at 3.45pm
Year 3 Tuesday 6th September at 3.45pm
Year 4 Wednesday 7th September at 4.15pm
Year 5 Thursday 8th September at 3.45pm
Year 6 Wednesday 7th September at 3.45pm
School shoes
Please ensure that the children wear plain black school shoes without coloured soles, logos or sports markings. We recognise that many children prefer to wear school shoes that resemble a trainer, but these should not have any coloured logos or stripes. Thank you for your support with this.
P.E kits
The children in Year 1 - Year 6 will need to have a school P.E kit- more information about their P.E lessons will follow in September.
To try to keep costs to a minimum and to support our school uniform policy, the school P.E kit follows the uniform colours and the only logo that the children should be wearing is our school logo- please do not buy items with sports logos, stripes or prints. Thank you for your support in providing:
We recognise that many parents use the summer holiday to sort out school uniform for their children and as such we wanted to remind you of our uniform policy:
Please take some time to clearly label your son/ daughter's school uniform so that any lost property can be returned to its owner.
The PTA will be holding another preloved uniform sale during the first few weeks of term- more information will follow in September.
In addition, we would welcome donations of pants and socks (all sizes) for our spare clothes collection. Please remember us if your child has outgrown these items, as we can always make use of them in school. Thank you.
Congratulations to 5G for winning the Battle of the Bands on TTRS last week with an amazing 1246 points on average. A special mention for Teddy and Selina who scored the most points in the whole school.
Please can you encourage your children to continue to play on Times Tables Rocks Stars over the summer to keep them fluent with their multiplication and division facts. We will be presenting certificates to the children who have made the most effort over the holiday and for those have made the most progress.
