Wilnecote Weekly Update - 16th January 2026

{item_alt_tag}

Dear Parents and Carers,

Parents evening

Parents evening will take place on Wednesday 11th February and Thursday 12th February. You can sign up for a 10-minute appointment with your children's class teacher via the Arbor app. Please remember if you have more than one child to allow a gap in-between appointments and if you have to travel between the sites, please allow sufficient time. This goes live today at 4.30pm.

Volunteer recruitment 

We couldn’t run our PTA events without the fantastic support of our school community – thank you! 

We’re currently looking for no-commitment volunteers who are happy to help only when they’re able. There’s no regular obligation or long-term role – just occasional help when it suits you.

This might include:

  • Running a game/stall at events such as the Summer Fair
  • Helping out with setting up events
  • Refreshments at discos 
  • Approaching local companies for raffle prizes or donations

If you’d be happy for us to contact you when help is needed, please leave contact details with either office we’d love to hear from you! It makes a huge difference and helps us continue to fund activities and resources for the children.

Thank you for your support,

The PTFA Team

Hygiene Bank Delivery

We are pleased to share that we have kindly received a delivery of hygiene products from the Tamworth Hygiene Bank. These items are now available in the reception areas of both schools.

Please feel free to take what you need — and only what you need — so that the supplies can support as many families as possible.

A huge thank you to the Tamworth Hygiene Bank for their generosity.

Health and Safety

This week, we have practised the emergency procedures of remaining in the classes and being quiet. At Wilnecote, we have not used the words lockdown and have shared that at times we need to be in the building as there could be a hazard in the playground, such as a dog in the playground running loose. We were proud of all the staff and children, procedures were followed, and no immediate actions needed to be addressed.

Celebrations 

The House Champions this week were Team Aethelflaed.
