Our nursery children have had an amazing time exploring the great outdoors! They've been splashing around in water, counting and moving ducks, and taking care of our plants. Plus, they’ve enjoyed leaf printing, cozy reading sessions in the book nook, and so much more! 🐾💧🌿

Good morning families

We will hold our Autumn parents evening on Tuesday 20th October and Wednesday 21st October 3.30 - 6pm. Parents, please make appointments via the arbor app, or contact the school office if you would like help to do this.

Dear families!

Our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! To make it even better, we’re asking for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any old lego, small toys, soft toys, puzzles and games that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime on the last week!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and many, many thanks to all the parents who attended our OPAL play event last week!

High Hazels Herald - 21st September 2026

Many thanks

On Tuesday 22nd September we are taking part in World Car Free Day!

Please try to walk, cycle, scoot, use a wheelchair, or use public transport to come to school on this day.

Children who travel actively (walk, wheelchair, cycle, scoot) will receive a reward.

The class with the most children travelling actively will win reflectors.

If you need to drive, please park 5–10 minutes away from school and walk the rest of the journey.

For everyone's safety:

Do not park on yellow lines, zig-zag lines, or pavements.

Turn off your engine while waiting or parked.

Active travel helps children stay healthy, keeps the roads safer, and reduces air pollution.

We hope all families can support World Car Free Day on Tuesday 22 September 2026.

Many thanks for your support, !
