Christmas Jumper Day - 12th December 2024
We're taking part in Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 12 December! By pulling on our Christmassy knits and donating, we’ll be supporting children in the UK and around the world to keep safe, healthy, and learning. We’ll be helping them fight for the future they deserve.
Just click the link below to donate £2 (or more if you're feeling generous...) and it will go straight to Save the Children. (Cash donations will also be accepted on the day if you prefer.)
The money we raise could go towards some amazing things like:
£2 could buy a packet of seeds for a family in Kenya to grow their own food, after drought has killed their crops.
£8 could buy a blanket to keep a child in Ukraine warm through winter.
£20 could buy enough supermarket vouchers for two children in the UK.
Italian Theme Day
It’s an Italian theme day in the kitchen this month.
Buon appetito!
Healthy Home Cooking
We’re excited to share a new initiative from Aspens, our amazing school caterers designed to encourage healthy home cooking, balanced eating, and smart budgeting. They are providing simple, family-friendly recipes that use affordable ingredients, are easy to prepare, and support nutritious eating. These recipes aim to inspire students and their families to cook at home, try new foods, and make healthy eating both accessible and enjoyable.
Your views matter to us!
We place real value on ensuring we understand the views of parents, carers, and students. We hope that you feel able to communicate when we are getting things right and also if you have concerns you need to raise.
As part of this commitment, we conduct a yearly survey that gives us a picture of key areas across the whole school.
This survey is based on the OFSTED Parent View and, as such, is anonymous and has a series of numerical responses. If you have additional comments beyond the survey, please contact your child’s tutor or send an email to feedback@sirthomasfremantle.org, and we can direct this to the right person.
Educake Student Revision Contest
Educake is hosting a contest where 5 lucky students who use the Revision Wizard will receive a £50 One4all gift card (for use at 130+ retailers in store and online). We’ll also send some cake to the teachers in the winning departments!
The contest will run for a 6-week period, from 11 November – 22 December.
To be eligible for the prize draw, students must answer at least 10 questions using the Revision Wizard tool during at least 4 of the 6 weeks of the contest period.
They will be entered into the draw automatically if they meet the above criteria; they don’t need to do anything else.
A Message From Chiltern Railways
A number of trains will be running through Winslow in the coming weeks, as the line is tested and driver training begins. We recognise that this is a new railway line, and that students in the local area may not be used to live trains running through Winslow.
We ask that you remind students of the dangers of live railway lines. There are several useful videos from Network Rail available here - Safety education - Network Rail.
Flu Vaccination
The Bucks Immunisation Team will be visiting school on 29th November to administer the flu vaccine to all students.
Please keep an eye on your inbox for details of how to register.
