There is new legislation regarding absence from school during term time. As from 1^st September 2013 we will not be able to authorise any holidays at all.

As the weather is forecast to turn colder please can you remind children to come to school with a suitable coat as we encourage children to play outside at break and lunch times whenever possible.

We are delighted that one of our ex-pupils Abigail Edmonds will be returning to Northmead on Friday 2nd March to take assembly. Abigail is one of the members of the Great British Sprint Canoe team in training for the London Olympic Games. She is a full time athlete and will be able to talk to us about her ambition to win gold at the 2012 Olympics.

Every child benefited from an exciting energetic session in the hall this week.

Some of our children visited the O2 this week to take part in the 'Young Voices Concert'. They behaved perfectly, sang really well and had a fantastic time! Here we have some short video clips of the children singing, reports and comments from the children.
