Tysoe School

We welcomed all the children back into school to another year of exciting opportunities. It was particularly special for the twenty new Reception children and also for several new families who have quickly settled in and made friends. The Reception Class are also lucky to be the first children to use the new toilet facilities built just for the youngest children. Many thanks to local builder Matt Hemmings (a former Tysoe pupil), for all his hard work to ensure they were completed on time.

It is also good to report that the teaching staff remains the same and this continuity and expertise helps Tysoe Church of England School build on its strengths. Our aspirations are clear for every child: “To be positive about me, my faith, our learning and our world.” The Christian ethos permeates all aspects of school life and this is enhanced with a special value for each half-term, beginning this year with Service. In addition, the culture of the school is enhanced by extra-curricular activities, including the provision of a wide range of after school clubs.

We look forward to the Welcome Back Party, a social event organised by The Friends to help new families settle in and make time for existing families to catch up on news from the holidays. It is also a good introduction to the Friends Committee who support the school in practical ways and raise funds for a variety of projects, currently to provide the children with an outdoor quiet area.

Already we have started plans for the new intake in September 2017, so please let all your friends and neighbours with preschool children know, there will be an Open Morning on Friday 14th October at 9.30am for any prospective parents wanting to see the school in action.
