Message from Mrs Brocklesby and Mrs Warnett

This week, we had our much-anticipated Ofsted visit, and we are so proud of how our children and staff have worked together to showcase all the wonderful things happening at our school. Everyone has given their best, and it truly highlights the strength of our whole school community. We are excited to share the full report with you once it arrives.

As we head into half term, we want to thank everyone for their continued hard work and dedication. Wishing you all a lovely, relaxing break! See you after the holidays!

Parents' Evening - 24 February 2025 from 4.30pm - 6.30pm

If you would like to make an appointment to meet with your child's teacher, please do so via your Arbor account.  If you would prefer a virtual appointment, please contact the school office.  If you require a reminder of your Arbor login details, please contact the school office.

At St Wulstan's, we are committed to minimising missed educational opportunities. We firmly believe that a strong community is one where all our children are present in school, on time, every day unless they are too unwell to do so. By adhering to this principle, we not only impart valuable life skills and help to foster enduring friendships, but we also prepare your child for future success. We will be launching a new reward in school called 'Attendance Achievers' - a scheme where at the end of each month, we will celebrate pupils who are showing an achievement within attendance such as improved attendance, improved punctuality, sustained excellent attendance etc. The children who receive an 'Attendance Achiever' reward will receive a certificate and will be able to choose a prize from the prize box!

If your child is due to start school in September 2025 (and was born between 1 September 2020-31 August 2021) the closing date for applying for a place was 15 January.  However, you can still apply for a late application by visiting www.worcestershire.gov.uk/schooladmissions.

If you require assistance, please contact Mrs Brown in the school office.

St Wulstan's has signed up to the Asda Cashpot - a scheme where Asda will donate a percentage of your shop to your chosen school. If you would like to choose St Wulstan's as your school to donate to, click on the link below to find out more.

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive universal free school meals.  However, based on your income, you may be eligible to a different free school meal type. This can be applied for even when your child is still in Reception, Years 1 & 2.  This entitles you to a free school meal voucher during the holidays and also continued free school meals until the end of Year 6. If you think you may qualify for these, please contact Mrs Brown in the school office for a form or visit www.worcestershire.gov.uk or contact the team on 01905 845280.  They will require your date of birth and national insurance number to check whether you are eligible.
