This Week at Titchmarsh...
Hello everyone,
Thank you for looking on our website and for supporting our school.
TITCHMARSH CONTINUES TO BE A GOOD SCHOOL!
We are delighted to be able to share with you that, following our Ofsted Inspection in April, Titchmarsh Cof E Primary School continues to be a good school!
The full report can be found on the Ofsted website but we'd like to share a few of the report's comments:
From a parent - 'I couldn't wish for a better school for my children. They have flourished here.'
From the inspectors - 'This inclusive school has a warm and friendly atmosphere...and it has a family feel to it.' 'Staff have a good subject knowledge' (Maths) and 'the teaching of phonics and early reading is a strength.' 'The school values of hope, friendship, love, honesty and respect shine through.'
Well done to the pupils and staff for such an excellent report and thank you to everyone for their continuing support for the school. Well done, everyone!

ODD SOCKS FOR ANTI-BULLYING WEEK!
This year, Anti-Bullying Week takes place from Monday 15th to Friday 19th November. The week will be launched with an Odd Socks Day on Monday 15th November, where pupils and staff will pull on odd socks to show we’re ALL unique and different, and to be kind to each other and respect each other’s individuality.
It’s a chance for Primary schools to mark Anti-Bullying Week in a positive way. The rest of your child’s school uniform should be worn as normal.
Little acts of kindness can break down barriers and brighten the lives of the people around us. This is one of the reasons that ‘One Kind Word’ has been chosen as the theme of AntiBullying Week. As a school, the pupils will be participating in a range of activities throughout the week, in line with our PSHE whole school half term theme of ‘Valuing Difference’. This will also include work on kindness, creating a whole school kindness tree, online safety and responsible use of social media and online gaming. We hope that the children will enjoy the week and find it valuable.
Mrs Moulam and Mrs Parsons
Our Prayer for Black History Month
Compassionate God
who sent Jesus Christ
to deliver us from all manner of injustices and inequalities,
create in us new hearts and enlarged visions,
to see the image of God in every person
irrespective of background, race and ethnicity.
May we be generous in our love of others
as we work towards ending misunderstanding, racism and injustice; creating
communities of human flourishing,
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Mental Health Day was Sunday October 10th!
If you missed it, here are some links you might find useful: The Optimistic October Calendar - this is packed with hints and tips to help you make the most of this month:
If you fancy sharing a 2 minute video clip about resilience with your children or young people, check this out -
I like what Beano says ‘Everyone sees my mischief, no one sees my emotions.’ Does that sound familiar? We may talk about ‘children’s behaviour’ and that it isn’t acceptable – maybe it feels a bit tricky working with a child’s emotions, this video might help with those conversations.Another recommended site with resources about Mental Health is Free practical mental health resources | Charlie Waller Trust.
We hope you find these resources useful! Please come and talk to your child's class teacher if you have any questions or concerns!
