🌞 Newsletter for 15th October 2025

Dear parents, carers, families and friends,

It’s been lovely to see so many of you coming to your parents’ evening meetings this week! Thank you for making time to talk with your child’s teacher about how well things are going. It makes a huge difference.

Thank you so much, too, to everyone who has already completed the governors’ questionnaire about the school this week – it’s been brilliant to see so many lovely comments. I’ve attached a pdf of the questionnaire in case you need another copy (or the QR code), but Dale George, our chair of governors, will be in the hall tomorrow with paper copies too. I know she’ll be delighted if you have time for a chat while you’re waiting to see your child’s teacher.

I’ve also attached a draft copy of a new ‘Community Code of Conduct’ for you to read. Please do let me know your thoughts about it – it would be great to hear your ideas.

Today we had a whole school fire practice – the whole building was completely evacuated in 2 minutes and 40 seconds! This is our best time ever, I think, and the staff and children were fantastic.

Last thing to mention – don’t forget that it’s half term next week! School will be closed for the week beginning Monday 20^th October and everyone will be back in school again on the 27^th. Let me wish you a warm and happy week in advance 😊

All best wishes,

Ms Lou Harrison
Headteacher
King Richard III Infant and Nursery School

World Book Day 2025!

This year we will be celebrating World Book Day on Friday 7th March.

We are going to be having a theme of ‘snuggle up and read’ and will be inviting the children to come to school in their pyjamas to take part in a bedtime read in the hall. If your child would like to dress up as a character from a book that would also be fine but please do not feel that you need to buy a costume especially for the day. Alternatively, if your children would prefer to, they can wear their normal school uniform.

Throughout the day we will be sharing lots of stories, having a World Book Day Assembly and all of the adults will be reading to a different class than the one they would normally read to.

All of the children will be bringing home a £1 World Book Day Book Token that can either be exchanged for one of 10 special World Book Day books or used to get £1 off any book costing £2.99 or more.

You can find your nearest bookseller at:

If you type in ‘World Book Day’ into Amazon, you can also find books for only £1.
