HEADTEACHER MESSAGE
As we come to the end of a very long 15-week term, I am sure your children are all very tired amidst their excitement! Having Ofsted visit this week was certainly ‘a lot’, and I’d like to apologise again to KS2 parents for the cancellation of the concert. We have rescheduled it for 14th January and will email further details soon.
While we cannot share any details of the Ofsted outcomes until the final report is released in approximately six weeks, I can say how proud we collectively are of the children—they were nothing short of perfect throughout the two days.
A huge thank you also to TEAM TPS, who demonstrated why this school is such a special place to work. I feel truly blessed to be part of this journey.
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas break!
ELMER'S NATIVITY PERFORMANCE
Elmer’s put on a fantastic Nativity performance in front of the whole school and their grown-ups!
We are so proud of all the hard work they have put in to rehearsing this and enjoyed decorating snowman biscuits as a special treat in the afternoon.
YEAR 2 CHRISTMAS CREATIONS
Tiggers were very proud of their amazing sewing. For many of the children, this was their first time sewing and they were able to make lovely Christmas baubles.
YEAR 3 CHRISTMAS CREATIONS
The Explorers have been busy making Festive creations. They have designed and made a Christmas Stocking and decorated glass jars to create candle holders.
YEAR 6 CHRISTMAS CREATIONS
This week, in D&T, Year 6 have been getting in the festive spirit by making Christmas cam models. As we turn the handles of our cam models, the elves, Santas and reindeers go up and down the chimney!
TPS TALENT SHOW
We were 'wowed' by the spectactular display of talent at the annual TPS Talent Show. The performers were amazing and the spectators had a wonderful time watching the performances.

ASDA REWARDS CASH POT FOR SCHOOLS
Asda school rewards is a programme where customers can choose a primary school to receive a percentage of their spend when they shop with Asda using their Rewards app.
Customers download the Asda Rewards app, select their local school, and when they shop using Rewards, the supermarket will give the school 0.5% of the value of their shop. This will not affect the rewards you earn for yourself!
Between 2nd September and 30th November 2024, every time customers shop with Asda using their Rewards app, they can choose a primary school to receive a percentage of their spend. And that’s not all — every time a customer chooses your primary school, Asda will donate £1 to your school’s Cashpot, plus a further £50 when your first customer shops.
