Welcome back to Park Street for the start of the Autumn Term. The children have come in happily to their classes, and settled to work quickly this morning! Our ‘Key Dates’ list has been updated with dates for the upcoming months – plenty to add to your diaries. We look forward to welcoming the New Reception children next week. Please look out for our new parents, and help to make them feel welcome!
After School Clubs
If you used this club last year, you will have been informed that the KidsRus club will be run from September by ‘Active Play Education’. We are hoping for a smooth transition as they will be operating on the same days (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) with some of the same staff. Here is their website:
https://www.activeplayeducation.co.uk/
Kinnerz will continue to run on Monday to Wednesday, starting on Monday 9th September and KPA Music Theatre will run on Wednesdays. To sign up for their after-school clubs; follow the link for details of After School Clubs. We are starting a new Art Club run by ‘Little Makery’ on Thursdays (Y1-3 only) and Coding (for KS2) also continues on Fridays. Please contact the office to book this or if you require a place for your child at ‘Before School Club’.
The ‘Latest News‘ page of the website will continue to be updated at least every fortnight this term, as this has now replaced our newsletter. It is easy for you to find out about the children’s learning, as well as notices and information to keep you ‘up-to-date’, all in one place! If you haven’t already, please take a look to see the photographs of activities taking place, and examples of the children’s work. You can view the website on a phone too, which is easier to check for updates. If you have any concerns or questions, please email office@parkstreet.cambs.sch.uk.
Best wishes,

June 2022 Park Street School Parents' Survey Results
Welcome!
A warm welcome to Park Street Church of England Primary School in the heart of Cambridge.
Park Street is a uniquely wonderful place for children to learn! With only 120 pupils, relationships are at the heart of the school, where every member of staff knows all our children and families well. Everybody feels part of our small ‘family’!
Personalised learning becomes possible and successful when children’s individual learning needs and interests are known well by their teachers. Children thrive through our encouraging, creative and ambitious approach, where the individuality and contribution of all is highly valued. The highly invested staff team are committed to seeing them grow to fulfil their potential, and develop a lifelong love of learning. For our global population of pupils, we provide a flexible, responsive curriculum, led by enthusiastic teachers attuned to satisfying children’s curiosity and inquiring minds. This approach has been validated by our children’s excellent results in their statutory assessments this year (2022), which can be found here (please click the link).
Our values are:
Honesty and Respect, Friendship and Kindness, Learning and Fun.
These are underpinned by our Christian Vision as a Church of England School, with strong links to the University Church of Great St Mary’s.
Whether you are new to the school, considering joining us, or have been a part of our community for years, we would love to share more of the life of Park Street with you here on our Latest School News section.
