It’s been lovely to welcome the children back to school this week but after a very hot first few days, Mr Thackway delighted the children and staff this morning with a super cool surprise - an ice lolly treat. As you can imagine it was smiles all round!

It’s great to have the children back in school and settling into their new routines. We always like to start the new year with a new class photo, so in between lessons on Wednesday we took the children outside and asked them to show us their beautiful big smiles.
It’s been a fantastic first few days of fabulous new lessons, catching up with or making new friends, sitting down for lunch together, and just generally enjoying school life.
Welcome back everyone!

A valued and important tradition here at Crescent School is for the Year 6 children to buddy with a Reception child to support them through their first year at school. The Year 6s help Reception settle into school, assisting them at lunchtime, modelling good manners, encouraging them in their play and generally being friendly, helpful and welcoming.
On Monday, our new Reception and Year 6 children met their buddies for the first time, and everyone enjoyed some bonding time.
It’s a rite of passage for our Year 6 pupils, an opportunity for them to give back to their school community and we know they will all enjoy playing their part.

Poppy from last year's Year 6 (now in Year 7 at Princethorpe College) has been chosen for the part of 'Mix', which is a main character in a brand new show Rubble & Crew (a Paw Patrol spin off).
She has been recording the episodes throughout the summer holidays and the series actually premiered this week on all the Nickelodeon channels.
Good luck Poppy.
St Mark's Church have confirmed that parents can use their car park for drop off and collection from school. It is a large car park and there is a short cut from Church Walk which brings you out onto Bawnmore Court beside the school.
A short walk and a breath of fresh air is excellent at helping children get ready for their morning's learning.

Princethorpe has a new Admissions Team gearing up to help families who are interested in entry to the College for September 2024 and beyond.
Catherine Rogers is our new Registrar, having been promoted to the role in July. Catherine will be a familiar face to many families, she has been a longstanding member of the Admissions Team and has a wealth of knowledge and experience of the Princethorpe admissions cycle. Joining her is new Assistant Registrar, Marie Holt, who is no stranger to the Foundation either, having previously worked as a receptionist at Crackley Hall School.
The friendly pair have plenty in common, not least their shared public service backgrounds; Catherine was a midwife in the NHS for 18 years and Marie a Warwickshire police officer for 25 years, with their calm, unflappable natures they are both well equipped to cope with the busy period ahead.
The last few weeks have seen the duo dealing with new Lower Sixth joiners post GCSE Results Day, and the Year 7 Activity Day along with arrangements to ensure a smooth start to term for the next generation of Princethorpians.
Comments Catherine, “We are really looking forward to our first Open Event together, which promises to be an exciting one as we will be welcoming visitors into the brand, new state-of-the-art Science Centre at our Open Afternoon on Sunday 17 September.”
To get in touch with Catherine and Marie, email admissions@princethorpe.co.uk or call 01926 634201/297, they will be happy to help.
