Letter from Damian Hinds, MP
Tue 27 Feb 2024We were delighted to receive a letter in the post this morning from Damian Hinds MP, who is the Minister for Schools. It goes without saying that we are extremely proud of all our children and their hardworking attitudes as well as all our staff who work so hard to achieve the very best outcomes for our children. To be placed in the top 1% of primary schools in the country is a real team effort from parents, children, staff and governors and we are incredibly proud of what we've achieved so far and we will continuously strive to ensure our children leave primary school at the end of Y6 both happy and well equipped for secondary school.

Newsletter 16.02.2024
Fri 16 Feb 2024Dear Parents and Carers,
Please find a letter attached to this email regarding World Book Day which we are celebrating on Friday 8th March.
The children really enjoyed tuck shop yesterday breaktime! Thank you to Bex Vardy for sponsoring this month and if you would like to sponsor a tuck shop this year, please speak to a member of the PTA.
Just a reminder that jewellery is not permitted to be worn for school, as part of our uniform policy. We do allow small stud earrings to be worn for those children who have had their ears pierced but earrings either need to be removed or covered with plasters or tape, which are supplied from home, for PE lessons. The children have all been reminded this week about not wearing jewellery or nail varnish for school but your support with this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
All children going to Young Voices need to meet outside school on the village green on Monday 19th February at 1.25pm please. We will take the Young Voices t-shirts with us on the bus so if the children could wear dark trousers/leggings and trainers with their Pilsley school hoody or jumper, that would be great. A reminder that the children will need to have had their lunch before they meet at school and please remember to send a drink and a packed tea with them in a named bag.
We hope you have a great half term and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday 26th February 2024.
All best wishes,
Mrs E Bond

Newsletter 02.02.2024
Fri 02 Feb 2024Dear Parents and Carers,
Thank you so much for supplying the oranges for our Christingle service yesterday. There are photographs on the website for you to see and the PRAISE team did a fabulous job of leading the service for us. Our nursery children joined us too and really loved the singing!
A separate email was sent out yesterday to all our families who are attending the Young Voices concert in Sheffield next Thursday. A reminder that if you have any questions about the event, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
The NSPCC have asked us to share this with you.
We are happy to be able to share our FREE workshop for parents and carers about keeping children safe when gaming
This year, the NSPCC launches its first Game Safe Festival. We're bringing together key players to make sure children have positive gaming experiences. And we're helping the adults in their lives have the knowledge, confidence and tools they need to help keep children safe when they game.
The free workshop will take place on Zoom on Wednesday 7 February 2024, 7-8pm. The attached flyer provides information about the session and how to register for it.
Wishing you a lovely weekend,
Mrs E Bond
