Thrive Award

Pedmore has been awarded a Thrive at Work award. Well done to Mrs Robbins for leading on this award and it recognises things that have been put in place to help with well being at work.

Summer Fayre

This year’s summer fayre is on Saturday 1st July, starting at 12:00pm. There will be lots of activities and stalls; plenty for you to enjoy. We would still really like some extra volunteers to help on the day. If you can spare some time, even if only half an hour, please contact any member of the PTA or the school office.

End of Year Reports

We normally send out our end-of-year reports the penultimate week of term. This year, due to Year 6 SATs results being sent to school later than normal, the reports will most likely go out at the beginning of the last week of term.

Summer Sensory Survival Kit

Along with all the lovely things that summer entails, there are some sensory challenges posed by the change in weather, daylight hours, breaks from school and nursery routines, eating outdoors, travelling and staying in holiday accommodation for many. Have a look at the really useful guide here.
