Our Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural focus for the week...
This week, our school assembly focused on a theme that is very close to our hearts at Wincham: Caring for our Environment. As the first buds of Spring begin to appear in our school grounds, we have been talking to the children about "New Life" and the responsibility we all share in protecting it. It has been wonderful to hear the children’s insights—from the importance of protecting local wildlife to how our small actions at school can have a global impact.
At Wincham, we believe that being a "community" school means looking after the world around us. Whether it’s our partnership with Njoro DEB Primary in Kenya or simply ensuring our own playground is a safe haven for nature, we are teaching our pupils that empathy and care are the most important tools they own.
I encourage you to take a "Spring Walk" this weekend and ask your child what they’ve learned about being a steward of our planet. We truly are learning, growing, and dreaming together.

This week's assembly was all about fair play, teamwork and learning through sport.
The key questions were: What is fair play in sport? What does it mean to play fairly? Is playing fairly the same as fair play in sport?
We talked about the values of respect, equality, friendship and modesty and playing sport with a good spirit and a positive attitude.
Your Curriculum Snapshot – Learning Beyond the Classroom
Your Curriculum Snapshot – Learning Beyond the Classroom
Last week, you should have received your child’s ‘Curriculum Snapshot’ for the new half term. These documents are designed to give you a clear window into our classrooms, outlining the exciting topics and key knowledge your children will be exploring over the coming weeks.
At Wincham, we believe that education is most powerful when it is a partnership. While our teachers are busy delivering an ambitious and meaningful curriculum in school, we know that the "spark" of curiosity often continues at home. Alongside the academic overview, you will find a wide range of additional activities—from creative projects to local exploration—that you can enjoy with your child.
All of the Curriculum Snapshots for the year are hosted on the class pages of the school website.
Whether it’s a conversation over dinner about a historical figure or a weekend hunt for the Spring signs we discussed in assembly, these shared moments make a world of difference. Our goal is to ensure every child is happy, capable, and supported, both in the classroom and at home.
Year 6 SATS Week
Year 6 SATS Week
As our Year 6 students prepare for their SATs exams starting Monday, May 11th, we want to ensure they feel supported, fueled, and ready to do their best. To help everyone start the day on a positive note, all children taking their exams are invited into school to enjoy breakfast together. This is a great opportunity for the students to relax with their friends and settle in before the papers begin.
We are currently putting the finishing touches on the menu and arrival times—more details will be shared with you very soon!

Today, we say a warm goodbye to Eleanor Colclough, our Associate Teacher from the University of Chester, as she completes her placement with us. Over the past nine weeks, Eleanor has been an credit to our school; her hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication to the children have been truly amazing to witness. She has become a valued member of our team, and while we are sad to see her go, we wish her the very best of luck as she continues her teaching journey. Thank you for everything, Eleanor!

What Parents Need to Know about YouTube
What Parents Need to Know about YouTube
YouTube continues to be a go-to platform for entertainment, learning and creativity, but its vast and largely unregulated content library presents ongoing challenges. This guide outlines how features like recommendations, Shorts and social interaction can shape young people’s viewing habits, sometimes exposing them to inappropriate or extreme material.
It also explores key safeguarding concerns, including stranger interaction, risky trends and the limits of automated moderation. With practical advice on tools such as YouTube Kids, supervised accounts and parental controls, the guide supports parents and educators in encouraging safer, more balanced and informed use of the platform.
