Welcome back, everybody, for the second half of the Autumn term! Please have a look at the newsletter page to see photographs of some of the learning and activities that took place last half term, including Eagles’ residential trip to London, staying on HMS Belfast. This is always a busy time of year, so please take time to check the dates list for the next few weeks. We are especially looking forward to all the Christmas activities, including those run by our wonderful PTA. If you have time, please consider volunteering to help out and get involved. Please also have a look at the updated clubs list, on the link below!
After School Clubs
Please continue to contact KidsRus, Kinnerz and KPA to sign up for their after-school clubs; follow the link for details of After School Clubs. 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,
Sarah Hawker
Headteacher

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.
