23rd January 2026
I am delighted to let you know that the school has launched a new Facebook page. This will be a space where we can share some of the many lovely things happening across the school, celebrate children’s learning and give you a window into daily life in school. We hope you enjoy seeing these snapshots of school life and that it helps keep you connected with our community.
We are also starting to review some of our policies ahead of September to ensure we give notice of changes. One of these is uniform as there are a few tweaks we would like to make. Some parents have already shared a few suggestions on uniform with me. Whilst we can't make all the changes that people suggest, we do want to listen and make changes where we can to make life easier and, if possible, a bit more simplistic. Please do let us know at parents3002@welearn365.com if there is something you would like to share.
Join us on 5th February for a fun evening hosted by Artbase. Paint a beautiful hummingbird. £30 ( includes materials and glass of prosecco)
Book now to avoid disappointment.
Booking closes: 29th January

Bigger Crowd, Bigger Jackpot, Bigger Impact!
Join us for the monthly GLO Quiz at The Crown, Tiddington! It’s not just a quiz night—it’s an experience designed to bring us together for a great cause.
Every month, 50% of the jackpot fund will be donated directly to Friends of Alveston, helping provide vital extra funding for our children’s school. The maths is simple: the more teams that play, the higher the winnings and the more we raise for Alveston School!
When: Sunday, January 25th (and monthly thereafter!)
Time: 7:00 PM
Where: The Crown Pub, Tiddington
Cost: Only £3 per person (Teams of 6 max)
Book your table with Mark/Claire at The Crown or turn up on the evening with your motley crew!
In just four days last week, families sent over 200,000 letters to MPs calling for the age on social media to be raised to 16. Every single MP, from every single party, has now been emailed – receiving an average of 327 messages each.
