Dear Parents/Carers

Apologies for there being no newsletter last week but as I’m sure you can imagine with us having to close school on Friday it was difficult to get one out. Thank you for your support last Thursday and Friday with the adverse weather conditions. Closing a school is never an easy decision for any Headteacher as we balance the safety of staff and students with providing education for your children. I was keen to get the opinions of other Headteachers before making the decision to close on Friday.

This last week has obviously been disruptive for your children with the snow days and strike days. It is important for us to recognise the sacrifices that those teachers who have taken part in the strike action have made in the NEU’s efforts for improved pay conditions for all teachers over this past month. I am hoping now that with the calendared strikes over, the NEU leaders and DfE can get together to negotiate a fair deal and avoid any further industrial action and any further disruption to your child’s education. If further days are planned we will let you know in due course.

Thank you to all year 9 parents who came to the parents/options evening last Wednesday. The deadline for option choices is today so please do ensure that your child has gone on to the website and inputted their choices: https://www.stedcamp.bham.sch.uk/1799/year-9-options-1

Next Friday is our super learning day and there are a number of fantastic activities taking place on this day ranging from careers trips and workshops to Loudmouth keeping safe drama workshops and STEM events.

Just a reminder that as we approach Easter our holidays are different to the local authority dates. Our last day of term is Thursday 6th April and we return to school on Monday 24th April.

I hope all the Campion mums out there have a lovely Mother’s Day and this prayer is for you all:
Dear Lord, we approach you to give thanks to all mothers who so generously and freely give love, comfort, and guidance to their children every day. We ask you, Lord, to provide them with the strength to continue doing their work. Give them patience and let them see that they are loved, appreciated, and respected. We thank you for the sacrifice each mother makes every day. And we pray you to bless them and touch them with your Grace. We pray this in your mighty name. Amen

Kind Regards

Mr A. Grant
